Description

CWS is a global organization that is dedicated to helping refugees around the world especially those entering the United States.

South Florida is a major destination for refugees and asylees fleeing from Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, The Ukraine and other places across the globe such as Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Iran.
