Many refugees come from countries and cultures that are very
different from ours. Often they don't have any friends or family in the
United States. They come alone and are apprehensive and need someone who
knows the local customs to help them adjust to their new life. Refugees
who have support from North American friends attain self-sufficiency more
quckly than those without mentors. Church sponsorships,
mentoring, volunteering and financial donations are all rewarding
experience, giving a person the chance to provide critical help to those
in need. It's also a wonderful opportunity to learn about another culture
with its own fascinating customs, history, and values.
