“Before, I did not read or talk much to my children. Now I read to my children and I talk with them at home.“

“Friends of Refugees provides not just resources but also a supportive community. They understand the challenges New Americans face. After being in their programs, people leave feeling encouraged, respected, and with more skills.”
