Our guests this week will be Nick and Laura Armstrong, Directors of Glocal.
"Boise is an amazing place, and one that many of us call home. It is also home for a growing community of refugees, over 20,000 in the last three decades.
Our new neighbors have come from all over the world, bringing with them diverse cultures, language and religions, but all share a common journey of persecution, escape and survival.
They have found themselves in an entirely new place, cannot go home, or are afraid to because of persecution. Often, this is due to their race, religion, nationality or particular social group.
We exist to welcome them into a new chapter of life, one that doesn’t erase their past, but helps them embrace the challenge of leaving home, and thriving in a safe community that many of us may take for granted."
