Refugee Food Festival

World Refugee Day Paris

Refugees in cities around the world are invited to take over restaurants for the day. Chefs open their kitchens to give refugees the opportunity to share cuisine from their home countries, to gain valuable experience in managing a kitchen, and help increase acceptance and understanding of refugees.

Food is a universal way of communicating who we are, where we’ve come from, and what we have to offer those around us. There are few things more central and foundational to our human connectedness than through the act of breaking bread together.

Check out this video, done by TSOS Videographer, Phoebe Wood, and her interview with the Founder of the “Refugee Food Festival” and what the experience was like in a restaurant in Paris.

The U.S. Healthcare Workforce Shortage Is Growing — But So Is The Solution

Virginia is short 770 primary care physicians today — and that number will near 1,000 by 2035. The strain is real: longer wait times, physician burnout, and limited care, especially in rural and underserved communities.

There’s a solution hiding in plain sight: International Medical Graduates (IMGs).

IMGs are highly trained professionals with deep clinical experience and a commitment to primary care. Studies show they perform as well as or better than U.S.-trained doctors in managing chronic conditions and improving patient outcomes — especially for diverse and immigrant populations.
