This summer, I offered this post about a small-but-growing community - right here, in the Tall City - of refugees from Burma/Myanmar. An oppressed people, they had been allowed to emigrate from refugee camps in Asia, to the United States, where they are now making new homes and new lives for themselves.
Now comes Sunday's reports from the MRT's Audrie Palmer - under the heading "From Myanmar to Midland" - which provide a more detailed look at these people, the incidents that drove them from their country, and they welcome they are receiving in our country.
● They wanted a better life — a free life — and they got it
● Touched by refugees' plight, one Midland woman does what she can
● Midland schools get creative in effort to educate Myanmar students
Recommended reading, all of them ... highly recommended.
