Augustine Kanjia
Nearly killed in Sierra Leone, this refugee has found more than a home in Worcester, Mass.
When Augustine Kanjia came to Worcester, Massachusetts, he’d been nearly killed by rebels, threatened by the Gambian government and forced to come to the US with little more than what he could carry. But what he found in the New England city was a warm welcome — that’s made him truly believe Worcester is his forever home.When Augustine Kanjia came to Worcester, Massachusetts, he’d been nearly killed by rebels, threatened by the Gambian government and forced to come to the US with little more than what he could carry.
