Mozaic June 2026 Newsletter

Message from the Executive Director

Dear Mozaic community,

June is a special month for our organization as we join communities around the world in recognizing World Refugee Awareness Month and World Refugee Day. It is a time to honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of refugees who have overcome extraordinary challenges in pursuit of safety, opportunity, and a brighter future for their families.

This month, we were honored to welcome community members to our World Refugee Day Tea Festival at George Mason University. Through tea, sweets, storytelling, and cultural exchange, we celebrated the rich traditions and hospitality of communities from Afghanistan, Bosnia, Egypt, India, Kashmir, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, East Turkistan, and many more. The event served as a beautiful reminder that while our journeys may be different, our shared humanity brings us together.

June has also marked the beginning of an intentional summer of growth for the children and youth we serve. Our Summer STEM Immersion Program introduced middle school students to the exciting world of semiconductors, engineering, and technology through hands-on activities and mentorship from industry professionals. We were also excited to launch our College Application Prep Program for high school girls, equipping students with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to navigate the college admissions process and prepare for their future academic journeys.

At the same time, our Summer Art for a Cause program is off to a wonderful start. Young artists are developing their creativity and artistic skills while creating meaningful artwork that will be donated to bring comfort and joy to pediatric patients through our partnership with Arts2Hearts Foundation. These programs reflect our commitment to providing purposeful opportunities that foster learning, leadership, service, and personal growth throughout the summer months.

As we reflect on the significance of World Refugee Day, we are reminded that creating welcoming communities is a responsibility we all share. Every volunteer hour, every donation, every partnership, and every act of kindness helps make it possible for newcomer families to find belonging, build stability, and pursue their goals. Your support allows us to continue providing vital programs that empower refugees, immigrants, and underserved families throughout our region.

On behalf of our board, staff, volunteers, and the families we serve, thank you for standing with us and believing in the power of community. Together, we are building a future where everyone has the opportunity to heal, grow, and flourish.

With gratitude,

Raghad Bushnaq
Founder & Executive Director

This digest brings you the latest breaking news on U.S. and international policies affecting Syria and refugee populations, offering clear updates on the decisions shaping our community.

Supreme Court Decision Looms on Syrians' Protected Status

U.S. Supreme Court Clears Way for End of TPS for Syrians: On June 25, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government may proceed with ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 6,100 Syrians, allowing the administration to move forward with terminating work authorization and deportation protections. The decision also limits the ability of federal courts to review future TPS terminations.

Virginia Medicaid Updates

Several important Medicaid changes are beginning to affect Virginia residents as federal requirements are implemented over the coming months.

Beginning in 2026, certain adults enrolled through Virginia’s Medicaid Expansion will move to more frequent eligibility renewals every six months instead of annually. Members are encouraged to keep their mailing address, phone number, and email up to date and to respond promptly to any renewal requests to avoid interruptions in coverage.

Virginia has also announced that additional federal Medicaid eligibility requirements, including work and community engagement requirements for some Medicaid Expansion adults, are expected to be implemented beginning in 2027. These changes do not currently apply to children, pregnant individuals, seniors, or people who qualify for Medicaid based on disability.

If you or your family receive Virginia Medicaid, now is a good time to:

Verify that your contact information is current with Cover Virginia.
Watch your mail for renewal notices.
Complete renewal paperwork promptly if requested.

Staying informed and responding quickly can help ensure uninterrupted health coverage for you and your family.

Sewing Class Wraps Up Another Successful Season

After 8 weeks and 8 sessions, participants in Mozaic’s Sewing Class proudly celebrated the completion of another successful program under the guidance of volunteer instructor Cecilia Tran.

Throughout the course, students developed practical sewing skills while creating their own tote bags and aprons. They also learned essential techniques such as taking accurate body measurements, operating and maintaining sewing machines, and building the confidence to continue sewing independently.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cecilia Tran for generously volunteering her time, expertise, and passion. Her patience and dedication created a welcoming learning environment where participants were encouraged to grow their skills and creativity.

We would also like to recognize our wonderful child minders, whose care and support allowed mothers to fully focus on learning during each class. Their contribution played an essential role in the success of the program, making it possible for participants to develop new skills while knowing their children were in safe and caring hands.

Congratulations to all of our participants on their accomplishments—we look forward to seeing the many creations that lie ahead!

Summer STEM Immersion Inspires Future Innovators

Last June, 26 middle school students participated in Mozaic’s Summer STEM Immersion Program in partnership with Orblynx Academy and Micron.

Over two exciting days, students explored the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through engaging, hands-on experiences. They built electrical circuits, created their own light sabers, learned about robotics, explored the semiconductor industry, and worked together to develop STEM-based solutions to environmental challenges.

A highlight of the program was meeting with Micron staff, who shared insights into careers in engineering and advanced technology while inspiring students to imagine future possibilities in STEM. We are grateful to Orblynx Academy and Micron for providing such an enriching experience that sparked curiosity, creativity, and confidence in our young learners.

Morals & Manners Class Celebrates Graduates

Congratulations to our four graduating students—Moaz Ramadhan, Bilal Ramadhan, Ismail Abdelghany, and Malek Badran—who successfully completed Mozaic’s Morals & Manners program.

As part of their final assessment, the graduates delivered a special presentation and performed a skit demonstrating the character, values, and life lessons they developed throughout the program. They were celebrated by fellow students, parents, and family members during a joyful graduation ceremony.

Building Peaceful Families Through Conflict Resolution

On June 13, Mozaic partnered with FAITH to host Building Peaceful Families Through Conflict Resolution, a one-day workshop led by Dr. Amr Abdullah. Participants explored practical strategies for navigating family conflict through effective communication, interest-based negotiation, conflict transformation, and Islamic principles that foster healthier relationships.

The workshop had a measurable impact. Evaluation results showed participants increased their knowledge of conflict resolution concepts, with average assessment scores improving from 67.5% to 77.5%. Participants also reported greater confidence in analyzing family conflicts, de-escalating emotionally charged situations, maintaining constructive dialogue during disagreements, and collaborating to find solutions. The greatest improvement was in their ability to communicate constructively during conflict.

These results demonstrate that even a single-day workshop can equip families with practical tools to strengthen communication, resolve conflicts more effectively, and build more peaceful, resilient homes. Mozaic is grateful to FAITH and Dr. Amr Abdullah for making this impactful program possible.

Bridge to Higher Education: College Application Prep Workshop

Our Bridge to Higher Education: College Application Prep Workshop is off to a fantastic start! The first session, led by volunteers Elham Fakhro and Lana Fakhro, engaged and inspired high school girls to begin thinking intentionally about their academic futures and the many pathways to higher education.

Students explored the college admissions process, discussed strategies for preparing strong applications, and gained valuable insight into setting goals early rather than waiting until senior year. The workshop is designed to equip students with the knowledge, confidence, and resources they need to make informed decisions about college and beyond.

As part of the program, participants are also looking forward to a planned field trip to local universities across the DMV, giving them the opportunity to experience college campuses firsthand and envision themselves pursuing higher education.

There are still spaces available for the remaining workshop sessions! Register today at:

In the Spotlight

Volunteer of the Month

Eman Mohamed

This month, we are delighted to recognize Eman Mohamed, whose compassion, dedication, and commitment to serving others have made a meaningful impact at Mozaic.

Originally from Egypt, Eman is a proud mother of four daughters. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and, after spending 17 years raising her family, returned to school to pursue a new career. She earned an Associate Degree in Accounting from Northern Virginia Community College and now works as a bookkeeper, bringing with her experience in administration and customer service. Eman is passionate about lifelong learning and giving back to her community.

Eman first joined Mozaic as an Arabic-English translator for our English classes, helping community members overcome language barriers and build confidence in their daily lives. Her desire to make a positive difference—especially in the lives of refugee and immigrant women—continues to inspire her volunteer work.

One of Eman’s favorite programs is Mozaic’s Sewing Class, where she enjoys watching women learn new skills, create beautiful tote bags, and grow in confidence. Seeing participants discover their creativity and celebrate their accomplishments has been one of the most rewarding parts of her volunteer journey.

For Eman, community service is about caring for others, building meaningful connections, and creating positive change. She believes that volunteering not only supports those in need but also enriches her own life by giving purpose to her time and allowing her to grow alongside the community she serves.

“Every day is a new opportunity to grow, start fresh, and change your life.”

Story of the Month

Zahra Hadizada: Building a New Beginning

When Zahra Hadizada arrived in the United States from Afghanistan in 2021, she brought with her not only hope for a better future but also a skill that had become a lifeline for her family. She first learned hairdressing at the age of 14 while living as an Afghan refugee in Iran. Because access to education was extremely limited for Afghan refugees and returning to Afghanistan to obtain the necessary documentation was nearly impossible during the first Taliban regime, she was unable to continue her schooling. Instead, she pursued hairdressing, working in salons to support her family financially while developing her craft.

After settling in the United States, she chose to rebuild her career by launching Sana Hairstyle, a home-based hair salon serving women in the DMV area. Working from home allows her to care for her young children while earning an income to support her household. With her husband also providing for relatives in Afghanistan who continue to face severe economic hardship, her business has become an important source of financial stability, enabling her to contribute to both her family’s needs in the U.S. and those of loved ones back home.

She was introduced to Mozaic two years ago by her friend, Ms. Amina, while searching for an English class after moving to Northern Virginia. Since then, Mozaic has become an important part of her family’s journey. Beyond improving her English, she has found a welcoming community where both she and her children have flourished. She is especially grateful to the Mozaic team for creating a supportive environment. Her story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of community in helping newcomer families build a new beginning.

To learn more about Sana Hairstyle or support her small business, visit her Instagram page: @sana_hairstyle_dmv.

Zahra recently completed the 8 week sewing class taught by Cecelia Tranh, at Mozaic’s Sewing Studio.

Testimonies

Nada Unus, Community Member

“My children and I truly enjoyed this year’s Mozaic Tea Festival in honor of World Refugee Day. The energy and warmth of the event were palatable and the traditional teas and snacks were all delicious and served with such honor and love. The audience was as diverse as the countries represented. It was easy to see how tea has and continues to be a vector for community building and cross-cultural exchange. The whole event was a rich exercise in ethnobotony and my homeschooling children and I learned so much about native plants and herbs and how they are incorporated into the cuisines and cultures of more than a dozen countries represented at the fair. Two of our favorite tea experiences were the warming Palestinian cinnamon tea with shredded coconut and crushed walnut and the deep aromatic Bengali milk tea. And the Colombian coffee was a perfectly brewed perk up! I was so impressed by how organized and consistent the program was, and appreciate all the hard work of the staff at Mozaic and their team of volunteers. This event was more than just a presentation, it was a sincere invitation to step into each other’s worlds and taste the friendship we all have to offer.”

Heather Thornton, Community Member

“I wanted to reach out to express my appreciation for Mozaic’s wonderful World Refugee Day Tea Festival this past weekend. The work you’re doing to support refugees and immigrants is critically important, and I was happy to experience it firsthand.”

Mozaic Library Spotlight

No Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga

This month, we’re featuring Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga, a beautifully written Newbery Honor novel in verse that tells the story of Jude, a 12-year-old Syrian girl whose life is forever changed by the Syrian civil war. When violence draws closer to her hometown, Jude and her pregnant mother leave behind her father, brother, and extended family to begin a new life with relatives in the United States. As Jude adjusts to a new school, language, culture, and community, she experiences both the challenges of displacement and the kindness of new friendships. Along the way, she discovers that while home can change, hope, courage, and identity can grow stronger through adversity.

We are especially excited to share that this title was selected by our Hooks & Books Club, where participants paired thoughtful discussions of the novel with creative crochet projects. The story sparked meaningful conversations about belonging, resilience, empathy, and the refugee experience, while encouraging young readers to see the world through Jude’s eyes. Whether you’re a middle-grade reader, parent, or educator, Other Words for Home is a moving reminder that compassion and understanding can help bridge cultures and create a sense of home wherever we are.
