Ramonita Rodriguez, right, a case worker with Catholic Charities greets Rudolph Edward, 6, and his brother Stanley Edward, 5, bottom center, as they come to Saint Elizabeth Seton Elementary School for tutoring in English for the first time. The boys father Jeantoy Edward, top, has lived in Naples for the past three years as a refugee from Haiti and brought his sons to live with him for the first time three months ago. Catholic Charities in Golden Gate started offering tutoring for people in the community who have achieved refugee status. About 40 families are participating in a camp that has also taken field trips to places like the Naples Zoo and the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts in order to get refugees familiar with the community while helping children who might not have access to such acitivities.
