Afghan Refugees Find A Warm Welcome in Mid-Missouri

When Afghan refugees come to mid-Missouri, they find welcome from community organizations with direction from Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri. In an interview with Margot McMillen, three organizers tell how these new neighbors come to the community and how  community members can help them adjust to their new homes. McMillen talks to Dan Lester, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri, Frishta Aslami, Afghan Program Coordinator and Ashley Wiskirchen, Director of Communications. The three describe how community organizations from Columbia, Jefferson City and Fulton help the refugees adjust to new homes, schools and other community services.
