From Immigrant to Hotel Manager: CMP's Transformative Impact

Dongxiao Wu, a single mother who arrived in the U.S. in 2017, faced language barriers and an unfamiliar environment. With the support of CMP's Adult Literacy Program and her dedicated teacher, Peter Gu, she began her transformative journey.
