Join us for our third episode of season 2 of Redefining Refugee, a podcast by Gators for Refugee Medical Relief at the University of Florida.  

In this episode we speak with Tshishiku Henry, an employee case manager at Jewish Family Service, a nonprofit organization delivering support to refugees and asylees. As a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tshishiku Henry resettled to the United States in 2018 after spending a decade in a refugee camp.  His time in the refugee camp brought programs to empower the youth through art and to transform women to be self-reliant. 

We discuss his experience as a refugee, the programs he founded in the refugee camp, the work he does with Jewish Family Service, and the importance of providing ample support and resettlement time for refugees. 

Join us to increase your knowledge on refugee issues and to hear Tshishiku Henry's story. Thanks for listening!
