Celebrating

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending a very special dinner hosted by the Refugee Task Force at First Community Church.  This group of volunteers has been working with refugees in Central OH since 1983.During the dinner different refugees shared some of the most challenging experiences in moving to the US and also some of the best.  It was humbling to hear about the incredible challenges, but amazing to hear about how all of their best experiences happened with volunteers in the community.  It was a beautiful reminder of how thankful I am for our volunteers and co-sponsors who’ve dedicated so much time to the many families and individuals we work with at CRIS!
