More than 100 people attended the 17th Annual We Are the World appreciation dinner for refugees on Friday, June 3 at the Radisson Hotel in Phoenix. The night included several speakers from the Catholic Charities refugee community and unique entertainment that left the crowd feeling culturally rich from the diversity of the night.
The Refuge mural, created by refugee and immigrant youth from Catholic Charities Unaccompanied Minor Program (UMP) is the perfect embodiment of what the program does. Every young person desires to be surrounded by adults that will love and protect them, to help them feel safe and to instill hope for a future.
