Pascal’s Story

I am originally from Uganda.  I lived in a refugee camp in Rwanda for 25 years.

I met my wife in the refugee camp.

We have four beautiful girls.

I was a tailor, businessman, and a truck driver in Africa.

I speak Swahili, Kinyarwanda, French, and English.

I have lived in America for three years.  

When I arrived, I did not know one word of English.  

I learned to read, write, and speak English at Lighthouse Charities. 

After advancing to work floor manager at Lighthouse, I was ready to move into the American workforce.  I am now pursuing my dream of being a truck driver and attending school where I will learn this trade.
