Joseph, now 17 years old, grew up with his family in Afghanistan. All of that changed when he was forced to flee for his safety and became a refugee.
One of Laurie White’s classes required her to do a community project. After some research, White learned how many refugees struggling to find a job, often can't afford hygeine or cleaning products. “Imagine trying to get a job as a refugee and not having soap for bathing or washing clothes or even a toothbrush. How can you be successful?” said White.
