✨ In celebration of AANAPISI week, we reached out to students in our community to share why they support AANAPISI programs like Hunter College AANAPISI Project (HCAP). Students who served as panelists from our recent HCAP mental health event talked about what it was like to be an immigrant or a child of immigrants as a college student. We asked a few of these panelists to also share why they support AANAPISIs – check out what they shared here!
Image Description:
Three students holding four signs that begin with “I support AANAPISI programs because… The rest of the signs read as the following:
Sign 1: “Community is important in a time of division.”
Sign 2: “It gave me a community in a time when I felt lost. Support us!!!”
Sign 3: “They saved my life.”
Sign 4: “They gave me support in ways my family needed but never got.”
The signs are decorated with leaves, stars, lions, and hearts.
