Staff and clients working for the good of others

There’s a common thread that runs within the refugees and internationals that we work with. They want to give back! They want to help others the way that they have been helped.

In the picture, we have Ted and Jeremy, our American School Evening instructors working alongside a refugee family from Vietnam, a refugee from Burundi, and a Palestinian father and daughter.
