There are approximately 4,000 Southern Sudanese refugees in San Diego. They have been forced to leave their country because of ongoing religious, ethnic and political persecution. All of them spend a great deal of time in the refugee camps before being admitted into the United States of America. Why should I help Refugees? Unlike others immigrants, most speak very little English, are uneducated and have no skills to prepare for them employment in the U.S. About 65% are women and many are widows and single parents due to the devastations of civil war in Sudan and the ongoing crisis in Darfur. They have many needs. Job training, emotional support and acculturation are just a few. |
