Our iACT November 2016 Trip Report is available here! After every iACT trip, we share updates on our work, details on what was accomplished, insights from our team members and refugee staff, and stories of refugees. We want you to not only know exactly what iACT is doing but also to connect with our amazing refugee friends who lead and participate in our programs.

In our November 2016 Trip Report, you’ll learn more about:

  1. mindfulness training with iACT’s refugee staff in camp Goz Amer led by InsightLA’s founding teacher Trudy Goodman and practitioner Joslyn Hitter;

  2. the opening ceremony for the fourth Little Ripples Pond with the camp Goz Amer refugee community;

  3. iACT’s LEAD with EMPATHY leadership curriculum;

  4. updates on the Refugee United Soccer Academies (RUSA) in camp Goz Amer and Djabal;

  5. a new refugee-proposed idea and solution for food self-sufficiency; and

  6. plans to expand Little Ripples to refugee camp Djabal.
