RHHP wedding
Pam and Frederick were married at St Francis last Sunday morning after mass. Father Tom officiated the brief ceremony. Frederick is another Asylum Seekers Housing Network and RHHP success story. Possessing the mildest temperament you can find in anyone, he is an unlikely asylee from an African country. He sought and won his asylum while living at RHHP. A successful business man who owned a bank, a school and an insurance agency, he was forced to flee his homeland after he ran afoul with the dictator ruling the country. After gaining asylum, he worked in a factory packing clothing in plastic bags. He also received tutoring in English from an American woman who moved back to Baltimore from the Seattle area. They fell in love and now are married. Frederick is now attending a community college and hopes to transfer to a four-year college to obtain a bachelor's degree.
