Connected Communities

“We’re your friends, so let’s break down the walls”

When I dropped off my first carload … I asked, “May I stay and help?”

Because I am almost fourteen and the oldest son, I am responsible for our family.

Their future is uncertain, and their past is gone forever.

I organized parents; Ben organized students and faculty.

One person can make a difference.

I graduate in June. I’m not going to leave working with refugees behind.

“I decided then and there I wanted to become involved in helping refugees.”

… we were interacting with the refugees on a one-to-one basis

In order to save our family, we were obliged to leave our country.

We only want to live in peace and safety.

It’s the situation that is the horrible… thing. It’s not the people in it.
