After receiving a donation of lovely handmade doll clothes, Ngakan, from our Child Care Program, held up this little BIPOC Barbie with her new outfit on and smiled as she said “it looks like mommy.” This is why we do what we do! 💛💪

This beautiful mosaic hangs proudly in the halls of IRCOM Isabel. It was created by our tenants and local artist Dimitry Melman Komas to celebrate IRCOM's 30th anniversary. Dimitry asked our tenants, "What does IRCOM mean to you?"
