West African Community Council
WACC’s “About Us Video”
Centering on the experiences of families and educators like Aisha and Mariam, this film explores how the West African Community Council (WACC) serves as a vital cultural and educational anchor for immigrants and refugees. The narrative highlights the organization’s dual-language preschool and home-visiting programs, which prioritize the preservation of native languages and cultural identity alongside American school readiness. By documenting this "resource hub" model, the piece illustrates WACC’s unique ability to empower community members to thrive in their new environment while remaining deeply rooted in their origins.
