| Lori on the annual SSA Mumbai Trip |
The Chinese Mutual Aid Association is a manager of senior
services in the Chicago area, serving mostly Chinese immigrants and those of
Chinese descent. The organization
provides home care, a program which Lori has been hired to expand. The program hires “homemakers” to cook,
clean, provide companionship, and run errands for senior citizens and also
provides caseworkers that work closely with senior clients. Lori will develop strategies for
outreach, evaluate the program’s efficacy, and develop opportunities for
funding and program expansion. The
Chinese Mutual Aid Association has told Lori that she is integral to the growth
of the organization, and they couldn’t have found a better person!
Lori is excited to begin her career with this organization
and is glad for the opportunities that the International Program of Study
provided for her to better understand the experiences of international
populations. She is a little
anxious as well, but she attributes this to the fact that she will start her
career as a social worker just a couple of weeks after getting married! We wish Lori all the best and look
forward to seeing how she increases the capacity of the Chinese Mutual Aid
Association.
