On March 30th, Mr. Contreras and Ms. Ingram attended a Mother’s Empowerment Workshop in Jackson Heights for the Bengali-speaking community. It was presented by Mrs. Nayeema Khan, Khan's Tutorial Chairperson and UN Goodwill Ambassador. We are planning to host parent workshop this Spring for Bengali-speaking parents of Stuyvesant High School at this location with the gracious support of the space provided by Dr. Ivan Khan, CEO & President of Khan's Tutorial. Last weekend’s workshop included a discussion of cross-cultural approaches to parenting and helping South Asian Immigrant Mothers navigate the NYC School System. The panel included Dr. Husna Siddique, Primary Pediatric Doctor at Brookdale Hospital, Ms. Wai Wah Chin, Alumna Stuyvesant PA Co-President & President of the Chinese American Citizens Citizen's Alliance, and Dr. Nurun Yusuf, Pediatrician & President of MAAWS, along with moderator, Mr. Kowshik Ahmed, Editor in Chief of The Weekly Bangalee.
