Amy Robertson, program director for Hearts and Homes for Refugees, shared what it’s been like getting to know a family of newcomers from Afghanistan: “For a lot of people, it’s really hard because you have to start over. And what I’ve seen with [newcomer] Idris is, he doesn’t let that get him down. He’s always up for the challenge.” Since the fall of Kabul, we've seen the extraordinary qualities of humanity and how the support of Welcomers can help newcomers like Idris, and his extended family, as they transition to a new beginning. Hear why Idris is inspired to pay forward the welcome his family has received from the community.
