Monday Musings ... refugees

"While every refugee’s story is different and their anguish personal, they all care a common thread of uncommon courage – the courage not only to survive, but to persevere and rebuild their shattered lives."

Antonio Guterres, U. N. High Commissioner for Refugees



For the past ten years, I have been a volunteer with a local agency who assist refugees.
Most of the students in this class lived in refugee camps for decades.
I always was humbled to serve the students. Their courage and resiliency inspire me.
They often waited months and years in order to come to America.
