Austin, Lockhart, Georgetown, and Back

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's been madness around these parts. The OOVC calendar is booked. We've had a wonderful reception everywhere we've been and had especially rewarding experiences at the Williamson County & Cities Health District (in Georgetown) and at Youth Advocacy (in South Austin). Photos to follow soon.

In Georgetown, Isidora Sanchez and I gave an immigrant rights presentation to a group of 15 pregnant women and their partners and at Youth Advocacy, to participants in YA's Creating Lasting Family Connections program. On Monday I drove down to Lockhart, Texas for the monthly Caldwell County Family Violence Task Force meeting at the Sirloin Stockade. Tuesday, to LifeWorks for the monthly Austin/Travis County Family Violence Task Force, where we discussed the relationship between justice and forgiveness.

This Saturday I have a Victims of Crime talk scheduled at St. Ignatius and over the next several weeks will be giving immigrant rights talks to various ESL classes across the Austin area. Must extend a huge thanks to our Outreach Assistant, Nhu Truong, for helping me put together those packets.

How can it be October is nearly over?!
