Exile and ResettlementAlone in the World Nicole is seven years old. She is alone, terribly alone, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Burange refugee camp in Rwanda. Some refugees are busy pitching their tents, others come and go fetching water or food. But Nicole stands motionless, speechless. She doesn’t even cry… Shelter: No Place Like Home It is a far cry from the stone house they left behind in Somalia, but the small hut with a floor area roughly the size of a ping-pong table is home for Sofia Abdi Ahmad, her husband, and seven children in Ethiopia’s Hartisheik refugee camp… The Road to Refuge – Photo Diary: Life at a Camp The decade we live in has seen more of the world’s people than ever before seeking refuge from war, persecution, or disaster. The stories behind the statistics trace the journeys from home into exile. They reveal why refugees are still fleeing, where they go, and how they are treated. After the Horror: Resettlement For many survivors of torture, the process of resettlement can be just as traumatic as the initial trauma they experienced. Essential to the process of recovery is a positive resettlement process. Unfortunately, there are many barriers to positive resettlement.

Each of these experiences call for different service implications. Handout Packing Your Suitcase |
