Weaving Together Hope: How Refugees Find Their Way in a New Land
Refugees settling in the United States not only have typically escaped horrific circumstances in their home countries but also, once here, struggle to adjust to their new homes. Jane Delworth leads an initiative called Our Woven Community at the Burroughs Community Center in Bridgeport, which assists refugee women in producing their own clothing to sell. She tells us about the mission and success of her organization and the general challenges refugees face when relocating to the United States.
