“(Working with refugees), it intrigued me and I found it interesting and it was always in the back of my mind… so when Mary Poole and I bumped into each other, we first became reacquainted. It was the kind of conversation where I asked her what are you up to, what are you doing. She told me about starting Soft Landing. I told her I was really interested in getting involved and helping her out with that project because I felt it to be a worthwhile way to help the stranger at our door.” – Liz Colantuono, Mentor Leader at IRC
