2/4/2023 NEPCA Community Safety Workshop - Crime Reporting Directory

Image
  NEPCA speaks up for Chinese victims and calls for social attention and seeks support from Government offices and medias to address Asian Hate.  The Chinese crime victims in our community lack crime report knowledge. Many crimes were not reported. Therefore, on 2/4/2023, NEPCA organized a Safety workshop and connected important crime victim services agencies to the Chinese community. They are:  Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations,  South Philly Victim/Witness Services, Central Division Victim Services, and Philadelphia Police Asian American Advisory Committee.  NEPCA created a Crime reporting cheat sheet in Chinese and share it with five thousand members on our WeChat network. We hope to make it easier for Chinese victims to report crimes.

 12-24-2022 Visit Westley Senior Home Pearl Huynh led NEPCA volunteers to visit the Senior Center. We give gifts and interact with 26 elders. This Volunteers visitation warmed up the residents' hearts. It brought a smile to an elderly man who has not smiled for a long time, according to Karen, the staff who guided us around. Bailey, our 5-year-old volunteer, who does not hesitate to give the seniors hugs, really brightens their day.  Our volunteers are glad that we have brought joy to the elders and our trip on this extreme cold day is all worth it.  Picture album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/U59xXd9tr6pbMEgd6
