Life As A Refugee

Life As A Refugee (LAAR) commemorates World Refugee Day. It is an opportunity to bring our community together to increase awareness and understanding of refugee issues. To highlight this year’s theme, “Resilient Together”, we are featuring a social media campaign on the contributions of newcomers and keynote speaker, Dr. Trung Ngo.
