Nadine’s family has been here for almost 2 months now. The children are attending school, the family is quickly learning the ways of our culture, and Nadine is overjoyed to be with her family after two years apart. The family is still living in a transition house. Catholic Charities is trying to find a suitable house to rent in the same neighborhood so that the children will not have to change schools. Bacinoni, the father is attending English classes, while Jacqueline, the mother, takes care of the youngest child (age 2) and prepares for the arrival of another child (she is due in December). We have a team of tutors working individually with each member of the family to help them learn English and to help the children with their schoolwork. The children are enthusiastic about learning and are all making progress with their English.
All of us working with the family are in agreement that this is one special family. and we are all so blessed to be a part of this journey. When we arrive at their house, we are met with huge smiles, big hearts, and an eagerness to learn and adapt to life here. It is an incredible joy getting to know them and receiving their openness and gratitude.
