Starting From Scratch: Refugees Rebuild Lives in Baltimore
Dec 23 2011 - 8:48am
Some 2,000 refugees are starting new lives in Baltimore’s Frankford neighborhood… but they’ve been increasingly caught in the crossfire of drug wars. This past year, a rash of crimes against new arrivals came to a head in August, when a young Bhutanese man was shot and killed. Police, refugees, and resettlement workers had already been working together, but the killing focused their efforts. WYPR’s Mary Wiltenburg reports, as part of our occasional series, “Starting From Scratch: Refugees Rebuilding Lives in Baltimore.”

Last year, about 73-thousand people were admitted to the U.S. as refugees. Most were from Iraq, Burma and Bhutan and were fleeing some sort of persecution in their homeland. When they arrive in the U.S., some refugees have several suitcases full of possessions. Others arrive with not much more than the clothes they’re wearing. All of them are expected to find work as quickly as possible. That isn’t always easy. WYPR’s Sarah Richards files this report.
