This article made us think about how fortunate we are, human resiliency, and how it is possible to help refugees. The Global Village School in Georgia helps educate girls from war-torn nations including Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Bosnia, Iraq, Iran, Nepal, Vietnam, Kosovo, Myanmar, and Russia. We are fortunate to grow up in a relatively safe areas with our whole family. Some of the girls don’t now if their parents and family are safe and that is something that we don’t have to worry about. We were surprised by the ability of these girls to move on from their past and brave a new country and language. Often, we feel like people think that it is impossible to help these refugees because they are so far away but this article and school proves them wrong. There is a lot we can do to reach out and help these girls get an education and succeed in life.
