I've been working...What a great story ......... I've been working with refugee families since 2001 (back then it was mostly Bosnian, Afghani and Liberians). These days they are mostly Iraqi, Somali and Bhutanese of Nepali origin. <br /><br />Being an immigrant myself, I know how hard it is to assimilate into a new culture even though I could speak english fluently, knew the pop culture fairly well and came from an economically comfortable home. <br /><br />In working with refugees I was inspired by the human spirit that enables us to continue even after living through the horrors that many refugees and asylum seekers live through. I wish Tong, his fiance and his family much more success in the coming future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319963892791088244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965259714844356118.post-19034660903458273392011-04-13T13:02:44.636-07:002011-04-13T13:02:44.636-07:00Thanks all for visiting & I'm so glad you ...Thanks all for visiting & I'm so glad you enjoyed the story.
