Today Deborah and I enjoyed a luncheon hosted by Rhodes College where they thanked “us” for our involvement with their Interns.  I can hardly believe how wonderful God works.  Asha’s Refuge has been truly blessed by the student participation and partnership we have from connecting to the Rhodes College Internship Program.  The students that we have been able to work with have exhibited such professionalism and care as they have given their time to serve our refugee clients, volunteers and staff.  

It was an honor to have lunch and dessert on the Rhodes College Campus and be able to meet more of their staff, students and the other businesses in our city that have also partnered with Rhodes.  I was reminded how Asha’s Refuge not only exists to help local refugees but also to encourage our volunteers and our community which therefore involves students.    We genuinely look forward to the time we get to spend with the Rhodes Interns. Our organization benefits by learning so much from each of them.  We need them and are blessed to know they need us!  We could only hope to also be making a true impact in each Interns lives with life and cultural lessons they will remember and use for years to come.  

We thank all of our past and current Interns from Rhodes and those teachers and staff members at Rhodes that have assisted us in getting great workers.  Deborah and I enjoyed our walk on your beautiful  campus and appreciate lunch very much.  Thank you.
