Several weeks ago, JFS shared with you that travel was postponed for the family of 10 we were expecting in the beginning of May; while their arrival was delayed, it was not cancelled and we are hopeful to receive them soon.

Today, JFS is excited to announce that we will be welcoming a new family from the Democratic Republic of Congo on May 30th! This family of 5, travelling from a refugee camp in Tanzania, includes a young couple (23 and 24 years old) with their three daughters (2, 5, and 6 years old). This is a clear example of how the resettlement process ebbs and flows, and JFS is extremely grateful for your continuous support - we truly could not do this work without you.

Below, please find a link to a sign-up list, detailing items JFS RISE will need to prepare and furnish a home for this young family. 
 
If you have any questions or concerns about donations or want to learn about ways to get involved with RISE,  please contact Lourena Gboeah at  [email protected]  or 302-478-9411 ex. 132.

As always, we appreciate your generosity and support!
Thank You,

Snapshots of Success :
  
It's graduation time  for many, but for Amin, who escaped the war in Syria and resettled in Delaware last year, school & graduation have a whole new meaning. 
  
Knowing he would need to advance his skill set and get a better job to support his family, Amin enrolled in DelTech's 
8-month JAVA IT Academy. Not only did Amin meet all course objectives, but was a friend & mentor to his peers and graduated in the top of his class! Amin was also awarded a Grow With Google Developer Scholarship to assist with his completion of another certification program! Amin is determined to make a new life for his family and has been offered a position as a JAVA Software Engineer at one of Delaware's big banks!
  
JFS is extremely proud to share Amin's impressive & inspiring accomplishments; we feel lucky to be part of his journey! 
  
Congratulations Amin!
