This is the first in a sporadic series about refugees. The series will connect with history, literature, current events, and personal stories. As you listen to this first episode, think about how important a home is. A shelter is essential to survival but a home is more than that. What do we gain or lose by not having a place to call home?

I mention a few organizations that work with refugees. I encourage you to research how you can help people in your community and abroad. No matter where you are, there are displaced people. How can you help them on their journey?
