Thanks to the Chaffins for sending us this link. This is a story of a grandmother and grandson who were Burundian refugees during the war and were resettled in Chattanooga, TN, in 2007. It's a bit long, but it paints well the pictures of their lives and some of their issues. The first video is a nice slide show of rural Burundian life. I was unaware of the henna tattoos, so that's fun. All in all, it's a good reminder for Americans with regards to caring for the immigrants who are all around you, though often invisible.
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. - Leviticus 19:34
