Pascaline’s Story

I am 25 years old.  I have five children and am expecting twins who will be born in October.  

I was born in Congo, Africa, and speak Swahili.  My family went to a refugee camp in Malawi.  We lived there for 10 years.

Our family lived in a tent in the camp.  They gave us rice and a few clothes.  There were no doctors when my babies were born.

We came to America as a family on a plane with only our clothes.

My dream is that all my children will graduate from university.
