Chris (16) and Jacob (18) are brothers who immigrated from the Congo along with their large family. When they arrived in the United States, they weren’t sure how they would begin to adjust to their new community, but the Lutheran Services Refugee Services Program came alongside them ready to offer support. 

We are so thrilled that Palangwa, Mupunga, and Batatu Makemba graduated high school after working with LSF’s Comprehensive Refugee Services (CRS) since 2019. They are now attending college after the help they received from CRS’s Youth Services and Mentoring programs. Let us tell you their story.
