From TheMennonite.org (2-14-16): Luz Varela, a participant with Mennonite Mission Network’s
Mennonite Voluntary Service program and a recent Bluffton (Ohio) University graduate, volunteers with Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services and helps coordinate volunteer schedules at La Casa, a guest house, where refugees can find food, a place to rest, clean clothes, a place to shower and time and space to figure out what comes next. “I make sure that whatever needs there are in the house it’s taken care of,” said Varela in a Jan. 14 phone interview. “We try very hard to just mimic Christ and be Christ to them, because they’ve been through a lot.”
