From their homelands to years in refugee camps, many IRC clients have gained unique knowledge in producing high-yield harvests from small plots of land.

Through a partnership with TripAdvisor, the IRC in NY has been celebrating clients' successes and achievements with opportunities to explore New York's many notable landmarks and experiences. This past month, Career Development Program participants visited Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty in recognition of IRC clients' hard work to realize their career goals.

Abdelgabar Mohamdian is a farmer at heart. He grew crops and raised livestock in Sudan. Now, 17 years after he came to the United States, he is growing vegetables and making them available to the community through the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Phoenix’s New Roots weekly produce box program.
