Update: Lutheran Family Services

For the past 3 weeks, a group of us have traveled to Raleigh to volunteer at LFS, an organization that helps refugees not only settle in the USA but also teach them about our culture and find work. We have helped with paperwork, moving furniture into an apartment, and basically just telling our stories about how we ended up there. It has been very rewarding knowing we are helping an organization that literally cannot function without the help of volunteers. We are looking forward to the coming months as we take on more of a leadership role by teaching the refugees about the bus service in Raleigh so they can get to work, the grocery store, and any other place to meet their needs.
