Chair-ity provides essential support to youth aging out of the foster care system by collecting and redistributing furniture to help furnish their first apartments. The organization addresses a critical gap in resources, ensuring that these young adults, who often leave foster care with little to no belongings, can turn their apartments into welcoming homes. By providing beds, tables, sofas, and other necessities, Chair-ity helps these individuals transition into independence with dignity and a sense of stability. Learn more at https://www.chair-ity.org/about.

Activities: Chair-ity has a variety of ways to help depending on volunteers' abilities. Activities could include organizing, assembling racking, cleaning items, photographing items for inventory, and moving items (many items are relatively light and do not require considerable strenght, such as lamps and kitchen items).

Minimum age: Volunteers should be at least 8 years old, and children must be accompanied by an adult.

East Meets West, Then and Now: Learning from the Legacies of Transpacific Families

MIT Chinese Alumni Group

Wednesday, May 21, 7:00pm - 8:00pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

Register to participate in a live interactive event with Emma Teng, Professor of Asian Civilizations at MIT.
 
Prof. Teng will share her research on transpacific mixed families and take questions from alumni.
 
In an earlier era of globalization, growing US-China trade, missionary endeavors, transpacific educational exchanges and migration led to the formation of mixed Chinese-Western families, challenging taboos against interracial marriage at the time. Yet, their histories have often been hidden in service to these taboos. What lessons can we learn from the hidden histories of transpacific mixed families and their lived experiences in the US, China and Hong Kong bridging cultural and national differences?
 
Moderator: Humphrey Chen '90, MIT Chinese Alumni Group
 
About the Speaker
 
Emma J. Teng is the T.T. and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Asian Civilizations at MIT. She is the author of Taiwan's Imagined Geography: Chinese Colonial Travel Writing and Pictures, 1683-1895 (2004) and Eurasian: Mixed Identities in the United States, China and Hong Kong, 1842-1943 (2013).
