Friends of Refugees Providing Education and Empowerment F.R.E.E. is a non-profit organization serving the Refugee Community of Clarkston, Stone Mountain, and Decatur Georgia. How We Do It

F.R.E.E. Although F.R.E.E.

partners with individuals and organizations to alleviate hunger and provide educational assistance, ESL classes, plus basic living and household necessities, etc. We also assist in enabling access and transportation to medical, dental, and vision care plus legal and other benefits to the Refugee Community of Clarkston, Georgia,

Why We Do It

We became acquainted with refugee children and their f

amilies who were persecuted by their government when they lived overseas where they endured persecution and desperate living conditions forcing many to flee for safety to refugee camps in Thailand. Although these refugees are now living in the Clarkston and Stone Mountain areas just outside Atlanta, Georgia, many are still in need of basic necessities and monetary help. began by securing tuition assistance thru educational scholarships for refugee children's education, we soon realized there were other great needs in the refugee communities as well. We now provide clothing, food, and household goods to hundreds of refugees from many countries each month. We accept donations of food, gently used clothing, furniture, appliances, and household goods in order to fill these needs. We often deliver these items to refugee families and we also maintain an outreach center in Clarkston, GA where refugees may come to pick up these items. Visit https://freerefugees.org/programs for a map to our outreach center. NOTE: If you are interested in being a part of our mission, please visit our website at https://freerefugees.org/.

Zam Mung, a former principal of Pyidawtha Adventist School in Myanmar, recently shared with me drone footage and the sad news that "all the Pyidawtha school buildings, staff housing, the pastor's house, and the chapel hall were reduced to ashes. There is no more school left-no teachers, no students, everything was destroyed." He further stated that "the military burned the whole village, only a handful of houses are left out of a thousand." Mr. Mung had purchased a plot of land in Pyidawtha with the intention of building a modest retirement home there when he retired soon from a teaching position at MUAS (Myanmar Union Adventist Seminary, but now the town is uninhabitable and his plot is worthless. Please pray for Mr. Mung, the pastor, school staff, students, and all their families.

Note: Over the past several years, the F.R.E.E. organization has had the privilege of enabling several refugee students from Pyidawtha Adventist School to attend school here in Duluth, Georgia, at Duluth Adventist Christian School and Atlanta Adventist Academy.

On Friday, I was blessed and extremely surprised to be honored by the teachers, staff, and especially the students for my volunteer work with the F.R.E.E. organization at DACS/AAA and in the local refugee community over the past few years. I will always cherish all the photos taken with each class and the many thank-you notes from all the students. I've included a few examples of the many notes I received on Friday, as well as some of the numerous notes I have received over the years. They make my heart melt. Working with the children has brought immense joy into my life, which was made ever greater as my wife and I were blessed to have three refugee children, students at DACS/AAA, live with us in our home for a few years.

Imagine living overseas in a 3rd world country, desperately poor and barely getting by. Then a glimmer of hope. The United Nations, together with the U.S. Government, resettles your family to the United States. Lacking education and English language skills, your parents struggle to find employment. They are often bewildered when navigating government bureaucracy, healthcare needs, and daily life chores, all while hoping their children can get an education they were denied. The stress is most surely enormous! This set of circumstances screams for a solution, which the Friends of Refugees Providing Education and Empowerment organization strives to provide. We distribute donations of all manner of food, furniture, household goods, clothing, shoes, school supplies, etc. Then we transport individuals to eye doctors, healthcare, and dental appointments. Most importantly, we seek funding assistance for school tuition and arrange for refugee children to attend school so that, in a single generation, we see a community change from dependency and desperation to college-educated contributors to society. Together with your support and donations, and the almighty power of God, the world can be changed.
