Rain in a Dry Land trailer
World Relief is a refugee resettlement agency with offices in several major US cities. Here in the Atlanta office, they’ve done a lot of work resettling Somali Bantus, many of whom spent 12 years or so in a refugee camp to get here. Hubby used to be a case worker there, and I was a m0ther-to-mother volunteer, so we have a personal connection there.
PBS is airing a great movie about it called Rain in a Dry Land, and here’s the trailer. Unfortunately PBS is airing it at really odd times (like 1 AM), but I’ll be TIVO-ing it (on my monstrous TV).
It’s an eye-opener. You just might walk away wanting to volunteer your time to help refugees like these. If nothing else, you’ll have a deeper perspective of how blessed you truly are to be where you are in life.
