Family Focus
The Mang/Ciang Family
Taang L. Mang and Zam Sian Ciang exemplify the American Dream; they came as refugee immigrants from Myanmar in 2010 with their newly born daughter Niang, looking to create a better life. Once they arrived, Taang quickly found a job as a custodian, working long hours in order to provide for his family. He also began attending college part time at PCC, hoping a better education would lead him to a higher paying job, and ultimately a stable home for his children. Learn more.
