Day Two (Elva Card)
I really enjoyed the panel discussion of what it is to be a refugee. I read an article about the "Lost Boys" when they first arrived. Three teenagers had been given an apartment and a stipend on which to live, but other than that pretty much left on their own. The article showed some of the problems they faced in trying to adapt to this wonderful, but very strange to them, country. I guess after you've survived lions and disease and hunger, your survival skills are pretty well honed. Still all that the panelists have accomplished is very impressive.
