“There are no dead dreams here at Providence,” says Sheneni. “Every day that I’ve been in America is a day in which my dreams have become reality. If I have a goal, then my friends at Providence don’t tell me that it’s a dead dream. Instead,
they ask how they can help, and give me the encouragement to pursue every possibility.”
