Description: "We're Not Going Home": When she was just 12 Mo Nom Tee Kham's family fled their native Burma to Thailand, where Mo Nom moved from an orphanage to a refugee camp and worked low paying jobs as an undocumented immigrant. With help from the International Rescue Committee, she and her family resettled in New York three years ago. Now she's studying on a merit scholarship at Dickinson College, where her favorite class is Education and Democracy. In the second episode of a new IRC podcast series, Mo Nom learns from her political activist father that the family's "vacation" in Thailand may just be permanent. Not long afterward, she's separated from her parents and experiences first-hand the wrenching uncertainties of life as a refugee. |
