DAI to Welcome the (Unaccompanied Migrant Teen) Stranger to Dallas

Posted on News by West/Southwest IAF · March 21, 2021 6:42 PM

[Excerpt]

Dallas Area Interfaith, a non-partisan group, made up of multiple religious congregations in the metroplex, is on standby to provide translation services per Lead Organizer Josephine Lopez Paul. 

The organization is searching congregations, mostly Catholic congregations, for bilingual volunteers in the metroplex who can talk to the children and get them moving towards the next immigration steps. 

"We sprung into action," Lopez Paul said. "Right now, we have 88 volunteers secured who have to undergo background checks and are hoping to get 200." 

One of the volunteers, Angelica Montanez, spoke with WFAA. 

"It's a guiding process," Montanez said, who is an immigrant herself from Mexico. "It's a friendly face that can speak  your language and help you out."
