Providence’s Refugee Dream Center isn’t going anywhere


Listen Later

Students are afraid to come to English classes. Young immigrants are skipping weekly soccer games. The Trump administration has stopped funding resettlement of refugees, who are here in the United States legally.

But Teddi Jallow, executive director of the Refugee Dream Center in Providence, who came to the United States as a refugee herself, is determined to continue her work helping newcomers to America, despite the obstacles. "I also have the belief that we will survive because we do have good people around, and people are reaching out." Our host, Ed Fitzpatrick sat down with Jallow at the Refugee Dream Center to learn more. Tips and ideas? Email us at [email protected].
