Techfugees was glad to help @Angelikaintech. Thank you Ireland
I’m Ukrainian & have arrived in Ireland without a visa as in Ukraine’s moment of need Ireland has opened her doors. I’d ask the UK & all nations to do the same
Thank you @hmcentee, Ireland’s Justice Minister, & Ireland for your solidarity with Ukraine🇺🇦❤️🇮🇪

📣Techfugees Canada is calling for volunteers!
Help run a 10-week English exchange program and support 30 individuals in Lebanon practice conversational and written English related to working in the tech sector.
Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
1️⃣ Help 5 developers/software engineers from crisis affected countries Resettle in Canada through the Digital Corridor
2️⃣ Provide tech career support for 30 youth entering the remote job market in Lebanon through the Digital Corridor collection/management practices
Despite last year’s many challenges owing to COVID-19’s continued impacts on our daily lives, there are few highlights that Techfugees Canada would like to celebrate 👇
⭐️We reported on Lack of Transparency in Canadian Detention Centers
Our 2021 volunteer data analysts, Hye and Hiba, created a data report highlighting the lack of transparency regarding the conditions of detained refugee claimants in Canada's detention centres.
⭐️We launched the Digital Corridor Initiative
We have partnered with @TechfugeesLeb1 to help refugees in Lebanon seek tech employment opportunities in Canada through both career support and resettlement.
