TAYLORSVILLE – Jean Walambo loves animals and dreams of becoming a veterinarian. By American standards it’s not an unreasonable ambition, but for Jean, 19, it’s like shooting for the stars. He was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and spent several years in a refugee camp in Zambia. As a child, getting an education seemed inconceivable to him, but on June 3 he graduated from Taylorsville High School.
