LOCAL Closer Look: Lighthouse Pointing the Way

Posted on Sunday, May 23, 2021 by Dan Beck

Thousands of refugees arrive in the US each year with little or nothing but the clothes on their back and the desire to be free and safe.  Lighthouse Charities is providing job training, English classes and community connections to help them achieve their goals and dreams.  Founded by an immigrant herself, she is providing help these refugees need and is supported only by the community in the work they do. Dan Beck talks to the Founder of Lighthouse Charities on the work they do every day to serve immigrants in the Las Vegas area.
