Thi Tram Nguyen fled Vietnam to Canada, and fell in love with poutine. Her restaurant in Naperville hosts job training and employs adults with disabilities like her son, Francois.She said her experience as a Vietnamese refugee gave her the courage to become founder of Chez Francois Poutinerie and nonprofit Friends of Francois in Naperville.
Chez Francois Poutinerie hosts the organizations training program, where its participants learn how to prepare food, clean surfaces and serve customers with the hope of future job placement. "Going to school was a challenge, but my refugee friends, we had a goal," said Nguyen. "We needed to go to school and get the degree."
"We cannot just sit and complain, because nothing's going to happen," said Nguyen. "I wanted to give a place where people are going to see them, that they are a part of the community." "We work and we give our time for the love of the kids because nobody's making money," said Nguyen. "We do it because we believe in the mission."
