“It was all smiles and laughs on Sunday at Global Impact Initiative’s holiday party. But many of the families in attendance were carrying the weight of past - and current - challenges.
“‘There isn’t even an adjective to describe it when you have left everything you own, everything you know, your whole family behind, and you’ve come here, and you’re still grieving for what you’ve left behind,’ said Anjum Malik, founder and executive director of GII.
“The nonprofit organization serves refugees from all over the world, many coming from Afghanistan and Ukraine. They offer a variety of free services, everything from educational classes to mentoring.”
