Hi Renu,

Do you think I should move the party to a date in January when your group will be in town?  I wanted to do something for the holidays but it may not matter if it is before or after Christmas.  

Let me know and have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!  Also, safe travels for you and your family.

Hello everyone,

I went as a translator today for Mr Bishnu Bastola and family, and I would like to share my bad experience.

The person--his name was William--who is assigned the case of Mr Bishnu Bastola's family by the Catholic Services was not very courteous during the entire process.

First, he got irritaed every time Mr Bhim Bastola, Bishnu Bastola's son, asked a question. Plus, the questions most of the times were not even directed at William. They were directed at the other people trying to fill out the forms etc. But, William kept interrupting and seemed very irriated.

Second, as we were leaving the Job Securities building, Mr Bhim Bastola's son's woolen cap could not be found. They stopped in front of the entrance, and looked for the cap in the boy's mother's purse. They found it there. However, during this one minute of cap finding, William had already walked out of the building and reached about 20 metres far. Also, the other thing to be noted here is that Mr Bishnu Bastola is 76 years old. He cannot walk fast. After we caught up with William, William pointed fingers at the family, shouted and yelled at them.

Now, here are my observations of the entire process today.

I understand that the Catholic Services is trying to help these refugees coming to Cincinnati. And, I thank them for the help. But, at the same time, I also demand that they be treated with respect and dignity. I understand that William, who works for the Catholic Services, had other appointments to keep, and was trying to hurry up for his next destination. But, that does not give him the right to yell at a 76 year old man for not being able to catch up with him while walking out of a building. He doesn't have the right to yell at the mother of a toddler for spending a minute to find her son's cap. Let me remind you that it was 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside today. And, the toddler is only 11 months old.

Also, the entire process in the Job securities place took 1 hour and 5 minutes. If the Catholic Services cannot have a case worker spend more than 1 hour with a family, then I think there are some serious issues here. They should give up taking these cases and hand it over to more competent organizations, or they should hire more people and  treat these refugees with respect they deserve.

These refugees have seen and been through enough in their lives. I don't think they need more abuses from the Catholic Services workers. That is all I am saying.

Thank you,
Mukesh Khanal

Unfortunately, I heard about similar behavior from Williams last
Saturday from Rajiv Giri. If you don't mind, I would like your
permission to forward your letter to Rod from CSS.

Amsu dai,

You can forward my email to CSS as a complaint. That is fine with me. I am also willing to go talk to them if that is what is needed to change their rude behavior.

Mukesh.
