“Haidar” was embedded with American troops as a translator when threats forced him and his family to flee. Little by little, Lucas County is becoming “home” for them. Everyone is learning English and “Haidar” is now enrolled at Owens College. We are excited to announce that through a grant from Dollar General, Haidar’s first job in the US will be helping WFI assist newly arriving refugee families with scholarship applications and other needed paperwork so they can attend WFI programs.
