Happy Birthday & Happy New Year 2020

For whatever reason, homeland security or UNHCR or someone in the process of receiving refugees, assigns most all refugees with a January 1st birthday. We believe it is because so many come from war torn areas where there are no more certified legal documents of their birth and some come from remote areas and villages where birth certificates are not even a thing to do. Some of our clients actually do know their real birthday and work to change it to the correct date as the progress to Naturalization. The idea of so many having a 1/1 birthday is kind of funny to our clients and staff and we often laugh about it. We let them know it’s okay to celebrate their birth twice in one year and love to celebrate with them all. So, happy birthday to our more than 300 clients with the same birthday today and also Happy New Year. May God continue to show us all His glory as we journey in this life together. img_4403
