Oasis International Breaks Ground
An oasis of youth, culture, wellness, and economic development
On Wednesday, March 27 2019, Oasis broke ground on the African Center for Community Involvement. The center has been a huge goal since the inception of Oasis and will serve as its headquarters once completed. Oasis thanks the sponsors, vendors, and the community for their time, energy, and donations to bring this dream to life. We are glad to report back to the community that the dream are becoming a reality. As of today, the African Center structure is now in place as you can see in the series of pictures as displace. Oasis is projecting the ribbon cutting for late summer or early falls. Please bear with us as we make progress slow and steady.
We are asking you to send in your tax-deductible donation that will be used to support African Building endeavor and our youth program. For the first time in the history of RI we are now proud of a building that we can call our own. A place for families to come together and socialize. Our youth program has been very successful over the years and 98% of our youth graduate from high school and college. These young people need our support and I hope you will join us with your donation. You can donate using a check, pay pal, or through United Way/SECA using the number 4983 to ensure your donation will go to Oasis.
I look forward to hearing from you.
