Our Community Centre
HEI opened its Community Center in July 2008 – a space that has been created for use by the refugee community and NGOs who work with these communities. HEI’s mental health services are also located here. It is also equipped with a play area for children, mini library, and a “Take What You Need Corner”, where visitors can obtain day-to-day basic necessities on a needs basis.
