This project focuses on Somali refugees. After the four-day training held July 15-18, 1998, the group agreed to continue on with a variety of activities. More information will appear here as it becomes available.

Trainers were Dr. Duane Ruth-Heffelbower and Sue Kliewer of PACS, and Suzanne Lelaurin representing Immigration and Refugee Services of America.
