ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — News10NBC and ESL Federal Credit Union are proud to partner in recognizing five individuals who have gone above and beyond as winners of the 2021 Jefferson Awards. Meet one of the honorees, Bijaya Khada.
In a community already welcoming of immigrants, Rochester’s newcomers have one very prominent advocate who understands their challenges very personally.
As chairman of the City of Rochester's New Americans Advisory Council, Bijaya Khada helps fellow refugees and other immigrants connect with needed resources and speak out for themselves.
Khada was front and center recently as he facilitated the opening of the new K-Asian Market.
