TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE ONONDAGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE:

Acting upon the recommendation of David Knapp, Chairman, Onondaga County Legislature, and pursuant to County Legislature Resolution No. 330-1997 and Local Law No. 5-2015, I am hereby appointing, subject to confirmation of the County Legislature, the following individual to serve as a member of the Onondaga County /Syracuse Commission on Human Rights:

APPOINTMENT: Mbonimpa Banabas 626 Wadsworth Street Syracuse, New York 13206

TERM EXPIRES: December 31, 2022

Mr. Banabas will replace Montanette Murphy.

Your confirmation of this appointment will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Mbonimpa Banabas. I originally came from the Democratic Republic of Congo. I

came to the United States of America in December 2008 after spending 20 years in a Refugee

Camp in Uganda and I arrived in Boston. In Boston I attended Bunker Hill Community College

while at the same time taking care of my parents. After graduating in 2013 with an Associate

Degree in Business Administration I moved to Syracuse to join the few fellow Congolese

families who had just arrived in Syracuse.

I and my family have been parishioners of All Saints Church since 2013. I am the father of

three children, currently I am part-time student at Syracuse University pursuing a Bachelor's

degree in Creative Leadership Program, I am employed with Allied University Security and I

own my own home on Wadsworth St.

I am very proud that now we have a Community of a large number of people in the City of

Syracuse who speak Kinyamasisi, Kinyarwanda and Swahili who originally came from North­

Kivu of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The community continues to grow because since

2015 Interfaith of CNY and Catholic Charities of CNY started resettling many New American

or Refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo in Syracuse. As New Americans in the City

of Syracuse there were/ are many challenges we face, but I will only mention few of these

challenges. As a Community from North-Kivu we have faced challenges like difficulty speaking

, learning English, helping children succeed in school, securing work, accessing services,

securing houses, landlord issues, learning to drive, transportation and cultural barriers.

I was also concerned for our young people. I wanted to keep them engaged in safe activities, so I

organized a soccer team which has given them a chance to reach out to the greater community as

we compete against all teams.

The whole Community faced many challenges and we had no way to address these challenges

to the City of Syracuse. We decided to establish Community leaders where I am the Vice

President of the Community. Since then I started addressing some of incidents that were

happening in the community to Cherie Cogan from All Saints Church whom I knew from

church. I knew that she was part of the church committee. Since then All Saints Church has

worked hard with our Community to address the issues we face on a daily basis.

I am very glad at this point the Community living environment is improving. If I am selected to

hold a position on the board I am willing to continue to work with everyone to address the

Community issues for better living for the New Americans and for our friends and neighbors of

our greater community in the City of Syracuse. I know that together we can learn from each

other and find solutions that will benefit everyone.

I can also be reached via email (mbonimpab@gmail.com ) and cell: 315-706-5447

Thank you.
