Pretty amazing evening

i work with refugees in a choir and this evening we had a performance at an event in which refugee foster children first shared their talents. It's amazing how far these children have come in being assimilated into the US. Their narratives are both at the same time heart breaking and inspiring.

I have a granddaughter who thinks she is an actress. Just a child
who wants to perform and the little kids surrounding
her are surreal! They are not, but they seem to me
to be refugees. Just great individuals searching. These kids are
all by themselves but this lady offered them a chance
to perform. The lady is now overwhelmed because so many children
want to act!!! Oh, I never have met this lady. Just a great story!
