Dear MIAG and Dalia,

 I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude to both of you for organizing the incredible "Cultural Diversity on Women's Day" program. It was an absolute delight to be a part of such a vibrant and engaging event.

The program was fantastic, filled with colorful performances that truly showcased the richness of our cultural diversity. Moreover, the delicious food added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Witnessing everyone adorned in their cultural attire was a beautiful reminder of the multicultural tapestry of our society.

I particularly enjoyed the photo booth; it was such a fun and memorable experience to have instant prints of our moments together. It's inspired me to think about how I can contribute something representing Pakistan in our next program—I'm eager to share a piece of my culture with everyone.

I cannot thank MIAG enough for your unwavering support throughout our journey of learning and community building. Without your guidance and assistance, organizing such remarkable programs would not be possible. Additionally, the beautiful gifts and kids' bags were a thoughtful gesture that added to the joy of the evening.

Once again, thank you, MIAG and Dalia, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you do. Your dedication and commitment to promoting diversity and unity in our community are truly appreciated.

Women Skills Enhancement Program

A year ago, I grappled with turning my dream into reality, wondering how I could connect with clients and establish my practice. I enrolled in the self-employment program for immigrant women at MIAG, and it became the gateway to fulfilling my aspirations. The facilitators, team, and participants played a pivotal role in instilling self-confidence in me, empowering me to take the first step without fear.

After a year, I had the opportunity to reflect on my journey as a Holistic Nutritionist and to contribute to the Women Skills Enhancement Program that is currently underway. This experience was incredible, revealing my path and passion for continuing to teach and coach like-minded women. I want to express my gratitude to the MIAG team for their consistent support and unwavering encouragement.

I like the detox from gaming videos. Thanks for sending all the links for the sessions.  Most of the topics are shared with my family, especially after Sunday's Brunch.  I encourage others to sign up for the program also.

Due to the situation that I am dealing with at the moment and all the stress that I have been going through in my marriage I was looking for ways to help me deal with stress that has been built up over the years. I have learned of ways to help me take care of myself and will be using these new techniques.

Women’s health and Well-Being Hub program

The Zumba and Healthy Eating programs have changed the way I view food and made me more conscious of my eating habits and how they can help me to heal and stay healthy. The exercise sessions have helped me mostly reach my fitness goals and encouraged me to continue exercising. These classes also help combat isolation in a safe, comfortable setting.

Thank you, Farida, and everyone at MIAG for arranging these great sessions

I have been an active participant of this "Women's Health & Well- Being Hub" program for the past 3 years and am never tired of it. As each session is always interesting and exciting. It motivated me to set time to exercise and stay fit. At the same time, I learned how to cook healthy meals for my family. This program has helped us (Women) to stay active, have a healthy lifestyle and stay connected with the community. Thanks to the fitness instructors, nutritionists and MIAG coordinator and volunteers

I felt privileged to be able to join the healthy eating and Zumba and yoga classes. The classes have greatly inspired me to continue, with the knowledge that I have gained to increase my health and those of my family. I do look forward to the exercises and presentations on healthy cooking and taking care of myself. I am spreading the information to my family and friends. Thank you so much for doing a great job.

Women’s health and Well-Being Hub program

I have been a long-time participant of this WHWH program and have thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from all of its sessions' activities e.g. yoga, Zumba, chair exercises, women's health and healthy food recipes. I hope this program continues to run for the benefit of our whole community.

Elsa Lobo

Women’s health and Well-Being Hub program

This course was very useful and fun. It was informative and balanced well between providing information and practical application (i.e. sharing of recipes and including the exercise component in the class). The instructors (yoga with and zumba) made sure that the classes accommodated all skill and fitness levels, and the nutritionists were patient and answered all participants’ questions. I would definitely recommend it!

Women’s health and Well-Being Hub program

MIAG has been a rock for many of us since Covid-19 started. This organization helped us to keep our sanity during that period, and they still help us to live normal health-conscious lives.  We are learning how to breathe properly and do exercise, to keep us going and to live strong and healthy lives. I use this educational and healthy eating knowledge to help my family and friends, with whatever I think that they could benefit from. I hope you continue to have these programs, in-person as well as online so that we all can join.  In-person does not work for me and some of my friends who are unable to drive. Looking forward to many more years of this very valuable and satisfying service you provide to so many of us.

Thanking Miag for having successfully carried out this Parenting workshop, giving us such valuable information in Spanish, thank you Yasmine, Idalia and Rola for your excellent work, thank you Miag. Our Hispanic community needs more programs in Spanish like this one for parents and caregivers, we also need for our grandparents and young people.

All the information we received in this program was excellent, and worth gold in these times. I really appreciate your time, dedication and commitment to making us all better people, for a more united, humane and brighter future.

Betzabeth Jerez

Parenting for Success

I have two young children, before I met MIAG and learned about the Parenting for Success workshop I was really without tools and at times I felt like I was at a dead end. And the fact is that the birth of the second child put all my knowledge to the test. The workshop, which is also taught in Spanish, gave me a guide and helped me find the way to respectful parenting, not to mention that being in Spanish it could be much clearer for me since it is my mother tongue. Enrolling with my husband has been, in my humble opinion, the best we have been able to do for our little ones, who are the most important thing in our lives. Thank you very much MIAG for each class taught and so well explained and Idalia a million thanks for the shared books are really very valuable. Very thankful.

Priscilla and Mitchael

I thank Miag for the quality of the exhibitors, the good dynamics of the workshop and its excellent organization, the fact that it is dictated in Spanish is a great advantage for us as parents and to be able to ask the exhibitors who are professionals in their area for free makes us feel safe and confident, thank you very much.
