Opportunity to Share your home through Ken
Crest Life Sharing program: Za Mang turned 21 on
Christmas Day, 2014. Za is from a small village in
Burma. He arrived in Glenside about 4 1/2 years ago
as a refugee sponsored by Lutheran Children and
Family Services Refugee resettlement program. Za
lived with several foster homes, and with a Burmese
family here in Glenside. Za graduated from
Cheltenhem High School, 2013 then moved to
Johnstown, PA, for over one year to obtain a
certificate in Warehouse Materials Management. Za's
wish is to return to the Glenside area, where he can
use public transportation, get around easily on
bicycle, renew relationships, and find a job in his
field. He would like to live with an English speaking
family, so he can keep practicing his English!
The Ken Crest LifeSharing program provides a
stipend ($1700 per month) for inviting a person into
their home. Several of the members of St. Paul's
know Za Mang and think highly of him. Za already
has a transitional job of assisting a contractor, in the
area, while he looks for a job in his field. Please call
member Julie Sandblade 267-278-2354, for more
information, if you would like to have Za share his life
with you.
