I saw that - what a change for those folks!

Despite the challenges, they don't complain. They do admit to being afraid of things like driving in the snow. But they're resilient and adaptable, which is are good survival traits.

I was reminded of all the good ol' boys from the Carolinas and Georgia being oriented to Alaska by the military

And considering some of the young people in that story had been born in a refugee camp and lived their whole lives there, this has to be an exhilarating and terrifying adventure!

Thank you both for sharing.

Socks! Socks!

This brings a smile to my face. Reminds me of all my Hmoob people in California. I used to ask them why their cousins were crazy and going to Minnesota to farm when they could be in California or North Carolina

When I lived in Denver several local groups were very active in resettling refugees from all over the world. It made for an amazingly varied population and I learned a ton from my patients and their families.
