Parents who move their families here from other countries often experience culture shock. Life in America is very different. Though kids don’t face the same dangers here as they do in a place like Sudan, there are dangers. New Sudan American Hope helps parents understand those dangers. "The goal of the coalition is to reduce substance abuse and related problems within diverse populations by building partnerships with schools, businesses, law enforcement, religious communities and other key leaders," the Rochester (Minn.) Post-Bulletin reported. The group was recently recognized by Minnesota Department of Human Services, and received its award for Outstanding Service in the Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Problems. Athou Lam, program director for New Sudan, says families in the area now know there are people who can help them if they have problems with teen drug use or other issues.
