If you are having a really difficult time communicating with the family that you are mentoring, try to find someone in the community who can act as a translator sometimes. This could be a neighbor, family member, friend, religious leader, etc. Just start asking around for someone that speaks decent English. Often this will be another refugee who has been here for a few years or a kid who has learned a lot of English in school. You can do it!
