Rating: 5 stars

The Maura Clarke-Ita Ford Center is a very important resource for Brooklyn women who are immigrants to the United States.

I know the experiences are rewarding for not only her students but the dedicated instructors as well.

I would find them more volunteers and more money to support their important mission!
