As part of our project, we wanted to hire a Sudanese refugee to run the center. This not only creates a sense of community for our center, but it also provides an income for a Sudanese family in Cairo. We will be paying this person a monthly salary that will help her support her family. We have found the perfect woman to run our center. Her name is Angelina. She is a widow with three teenage daughters who will also help with the center. She works as a teacher for a local Montessori refugee preschool and has a tremendous passion for children. Her ability to speak both English and Arabic is an essential quality for both the administration of the center and communication with the children. Her insight so far into the best way to run the center has also been valuable and we have been extremely pleased with her loving connection with the children. We are excited to welcome Angelina to the “Yard for Yohannes” team.
