Sikh Seva Foundation opens International Student Help Centre in Surrey

THE Sikh Seva Foundation opened its first International Student Help Centre in Surrey last Sunday. The volunteers of the foundation said they have recognized the issues and problems for the international students.

The foundation believes that a bridge between the international students and the local South Asian community needs to be built. It says its volunteers have completed a deep analysis for the root cause of this issue and have created a plan to help these students in Canada. The volunteers have traveled around and listened to the struggles faced by the students whether they concern work, government, friends, school or anything else.

“We believe that as fellow immigrants to this Indigenous land we need to help and stand for our children. Our Sikhi values teach us the lesson of “Sarbat Da Bhala” in which case we need to care for all and treat them like our own,” the foundation said in a press release.

The Student Help Centre is located in Surrey at 7748 128th Street where students will be able to get all items free of cost. To start with, the centre will have daily household items that the students can take for free. The public can donate all usable household items and furniture which the students will be able to use.

The Help Centre will be open on Wednesdays from 6-8 p.m. and Sundays from 2-5 p.m. The timings will be extended in the near future and all the updates will be posted on the foundation’s Facebook page and website.

  1. Hi
    I would like to volunteer for students new from any country. I am a math tutor with 13 plus years of high school math tuitions and first two years of college math, and I would like to donate my 4 hours a week to help students having difficulty with first two years of college math.

    Also, I run a small business, where I offer no charge for most of the alterations, or minimal charge for complicated alterations, and no charge for Damala and Turban seams.

    If anyone is required help in math studies, or need any alterations, you can provide them my email or phone number for whatsapp messages only.
