“Our Haitian neighbors elevate our communities”

A statement from Church World Service “honors the contributions of all New Americans, what they bring to our communities, our economy, and our rich cultural fabric.”

Said George Devendorf, Senior Director of External Affairs at CWS “Our Haitian neighbors elevate and enrich our communities, as business owners, as members of our PTAs, and as volunteers that serve alongside us. Haitian Asylum-seekers and refugees flee danger in the hopes of finding peace in America. They are fleeing danger, they are not bringing it with them.”
