From a Refugee Camp to a Pancake Supper at the Cathedral: Life has been transformed for a Bhutanese refugee family.

Forced to flee their home in Bhutan, the Dhital family arrived at a refugee camp in Nepal in 1992.   At that time the couple had a one-year old son.  They lived in the refugee camp for seventeen years and had two more sons. Realizing that there was no hope of returning to Bhutan and no future for them or their children in the camp,  they applied for resettlement and arrived in the United States in January of 2010.  Their life is being transformed.  Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest Refugee and Immigration Services of Phoenix provided a case manager, an apartment and has taken them to get all their needed services.  LSS recruited a church to co-sponsor the family which adds additional level of care and teaching, helping the family integrate into the community and learn more about American culture.  The church, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, recruited a resettlement team who was trained by LSS.
