Dhaka
My family left Venezuela 11 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was an engineer in Venezuela, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. Funds are managed by the Dhaka Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $550 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $250 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $115 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $75 • Language classes and bus passes: $55 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $55 Thanks for reading all this.
