On Friday, December 12, 2025, we had the privilege of serving the community through the Mercer County Angel Tree program, hosted by Our Home Family Resource Center at the Celina First Church of God. This initiative brought joy to over 900 children by providing them with food, clothes, and Christmas gifts. We're grateful for the partnership between Our Home and the numerous agencies that made this possible, as well as the generosity of private donors.

Our Director attended the 4th Annual National Marshallese Community Coalition in Texas this week, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to empowering Marshallese leaders nationwide. Despite his busy schedule, we're grateful for his participation and insightful presentation on Articles of Incorporation and Conflict of Interest, which engaged 30+ attendees from across the US. As a proud "ENRA" Sponsor of this annual NMCC Summit, we're honored to support initiatives that foster growth and unity within our community. Kudos to Director Mike NM Capelle for his selfless dedication to uplifting Marshallese leaders and inspiring positive change. Kommol tata everyone, -Ohio Marshallese Youth -OMY team

(STATEMENT FROM OUR DIRECTOR)

Iakwe everyone, I would like to recognize God as my Lord and Savior before I begin this statement. As many of you are aware, OMY has not been hosting any events or being public. After our YOUTH MAY DAY, I requested a one-year sabbatical with our Board of Directors so that I can focus on my home church and school. All activities will resume in the month of January. Outreach programs and interpreting will continue since they are needed with local organizations and our community. With the time I have already taken to focus on new goals and programs for our organization, I will be proposing a new mission and vision for the organization. We will remain a non-profit, but I feel the organization should be Christ-led. With these proposed changes, I pray that the Board will allow them, along with accepting new programs. Kommol tata everyone for your understanding. Hopefully, I can return in January if changes are accepted.
