Did you know that there are dozens of different languages spoken by students in Schools 5 and 15 in Rochester? Recently, our region has become the immigrant hub in New York state with people from all over the world having chosen Rochester as their home; and in return our community must welcome them with open arms and a warm heart; after all they will be our community members for a long time to come.

America has always been the country of immigrants. Rochester does not have the problem of illegal Hispanic immigrants; rather, we have been blessed with the immigrant situation from all over the world with no specific sub-group domination.

The immigrants in our area have contributed significantly to our community economy, lifestyle and culture. If you visit our local hospitals or medical clinics, you will notice that many medical staff personnel are from Asia.
