Welcome Home...



"Can you imagine? Today I'm here. I can't believe it," said Darfur refugee Abdulkarim, on right, while testing out his new bed with roommate Alnill on Friday, March 20. Ann Dunlop of Bethany Christian Services helped Abdulkarim, Alnill, and their friend Abubakar move into their new apartment after picking them up at the Gerald R. Ford Airport. "We are here in this beautiful house with very kind people," Abdulkarim said. "I'm very happy."

Nice moment. I was surprised to see it as I was almost matched with these guys to do a photostory. Now I'm working with another refugee who lives over by 44th. I'm glad someone was there to tell the story. Take it easy.
