Thread Name: Refugee Week music
Subject: RE: Refugee Week music
I live in a neighborhood that has a large Somali, Sudanese and Bosnian refugee population. I love having them here, crime has dropped significantly since they have moved into the neighborhood. The smells of their cooking drift out of the windows, as does the sound of their music. I hate the circumstances that has forced them to leave their own countries, but I feel fortunate that they have settled here and enriched my life.
