Burundi refugees connect with former refugee from Kenya

Submitted by Jennifer Hayes on 30 September, 2009 - 00:14

I wanted to share with everyone an article I read this weekend in The Seattle Times about the experience of some 60 Burundi regufees here in the Pacific Northwest. What struck me was it was a former refugee Njambi Gishuru, a native of Kenya who came here 20 years ago who is making a difference in these peoples' lives. The Seattle Times article is,"Refugees find a chance in a field in Kent" http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009950622_burundifarmxxm.html by Maureen O'Hagan.
