We attended the World Refugee Day celebration at the Bob Bullock Museum this Saturday and look who we ran into!
Kim and Huang, originally from Burma, came to the United States in April 2010 and began taking English classes with us in June 2010 as part of the refugee services Caritas of Austin provided for them at the time.
In catching up with the family, we learned that Kim is doing well in school and the whole family is very happy in Austin. Just what we like to hear!
Kim and Huang’s positive refugee experience is wonderful, but we must remember that not all refugees have the same experience. We must always keep in mind that one refugee without hope is too many. See what you can do to help by visiting the UN Refugee Agency. To get involved locally, visit Caritas of Austin or the Multicultural Refugee Coalition.
