MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES TWO NEW NEIGHBORHOOD LIAISONS  FOR MATTAPAN &  EAST BOSTON

BOSTON - Monday, July 22, 2024 - Today, Mayor Michelle Wu announced new staff in the Office of Neighborhood Services, including Asiah Wotring as the Mattapan Liaison and Roberto Gomez as the East Boston Liaison. The Office of Neighborhood Services is integral in connecting residents to City services and resources, facilitating resident input in all aspects of local government, ensuring the appropriate City departments respond to constituent service requests, attending neighborhood meetings, and responding to emergencies such as fires to help displaced residents.  “Asiah and Roberto bring a wealth of experience working with Boston’s residents, from early education to fighting food insecurity at local community farms,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I look forward to working with both of them in strengthening community in Mattapan and East Boston to make Boston a home for everyone.”

Asiah Wotring  Asiah Wotring grew up in Lynn and Everett and has been a resident of Boston since 2017, initially settling in Mattapan for the start of her journey in the city. Her connection to Boston comes from her family members who have been born and raised in the city. One of her fondest childhood memories is attending her aunt’s annual cookout on Morton Street directly after Boston Caribbean Carnival. Wotring has a background in local government, education, and community service. She has her certification in Early Education and Care as a preschool teacher. She gained valuable experience during a legislative internship with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. She also worked with the United States Census Bureau. Before joining the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Wotring was a call taker for Boston 311 for close to two years.  Former Mattapan Liaison Eric James recently transitioned from the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services to the Office of Police Accountability and Transparency (OPAT). James is the new Community Engagement Specialist where he is leading the creation and maintenance of fostering strong relationships with neighborhoods and overseeing OPAT's youth engagement.  “I look forward to learning from the intergenerational neighborhood leaders of Mattapan to be an ally and uplift the youth in the neighborhood,” said Mattapan Liaison Asiah Wotring. “I am excited to connect with residents and always be a familiar face in the neighborhood to help better serve Mattapan constituents' needs.”

Roberto Gomez  Before moving to East Boston, Roberto Gomez lived in Texas, on the border between Mexico and the U.S. in Laredo, Texas. As a child of Mexican immigrants living in the U.S., Gomez grew up between two cultures and later in life developed a passion to embrace his upbringing and the cultures of those he now surrounds himself with in East Boston.  Prior to working for the City of Boston, Gomez worked at Eastie Farm. He spent his tenure working with other nonprofits and the city to combat food insecurity and to push forth environmental justice awareness into the community. In 2021, he received the Zumix Luminary award for his dedication to the community over the years, especially during the pandemic. “I look forward to getting to the root of any present issues that East Boston residents face and see how I can help,” said East Boston Liaison Roberto Gomez. “I am excited to listen to the diverse communities in East Boston and learn more about their varied needs and goals.” “Asiah and Roberto are two passionate leaders with strong connections to the neighborhoods they serve,” said Office of Neighborhood Services Executive Director Beata Coloyan. “I look forward to watching them continue the legacies of our former Mattapan and East Boston liaisons and strengthen our community engagement in their neighborhoods.”  Community members can meet with their designated neighborhood liaisons by attending weekly coffee hours in-person every Friday to receive guidance on how to navigate City services

波士頓慈濟服務華埠再掃街 歡迎志工加入各項善行

               (Boston Orange 周菊子綜合報導) 波士頓慈濟7月20日再出動，為中國城華埠掃街，默默持續經辦教耆英做飯糰，為流民煮熱食，拜訪愛心商店等社區服務。接下來的每週二、週四早上10點至中午12點，慈濟在波士頓華埠社福站，將辦理的” 毛衣回收再利用” 等活動。

              慈濟波士頓為華埠掃街的公益活動，除了曾有幾次因傾盆大雨等天氣關係臨時「喊卡」之外，每月一次的已持續逾年。

              7月20日這天有陳裕逢，李豐，吳明真，蔡瑞理等十餘人，穿上慈濟背心，清掃乞臣街、必珠街、夏利臣街等波士頓華埠主要街道，希望藉此活動提醒人們環保意識，誘導民眾更愛惜華埠，加入保持波士頓華埠清潔美觀行列。

              波士頓慈濟自從在牛頓市會所之外，增設中國城社服站後，幾乎每週二都安排有各種活動，包括養生講座，教做手工藝，練十巧手操的拍打經脈等，其中每月還有一次是「銀髮族快樂時光」，針對耆英設計活動項目。

           在7月份中，7月2日是由波士頓慈濟香積組組長金花師姊教做三角飯糰。

                        波士頓慈濟負責人長金滿這天率領志工服務。她先介紹「香積」這名稱來自佛典，再現場派發資料，說明疏食與素食的分別，倡導多吃蔬食，愛地球。金花師姐接著把蘿蔔、素肉鬆、海苔調味料和紫菜等材料準備好，示範如何把材料和煮好的米飯一起揉成飯糰。18名參加活動的長者在當天到現場服務的志工童斐君等人從旁協助中學習包飯糰，然後品嚐自己做的成品，每個人都好開心。

              長金滿師姐表示，過去這一年，藉著申請到波士頓市政府補助，波士頓慈濟還推出了「長期陪伴志工」項目，招募了一群志工奉獻時間與愛心，關懷社區中的長者，幫長者解決了生活中的小困擾、羈絆。最近在善長仁翁支持中，他們還在籌備進劍橋市增設服務據點，希望能有更多志工加入服務行列，讓更多有需要的人得到照顧。
