The Congo, Syria, Iraq. Refugees from these countries and others now call Baltimore home. Nearly half of the refugees resettled in Maryland are children or young adults. How do school-age refugees navigate this dramatic transition? A new language, unfamiliar customs, the culture shock of life in America. We hear from a refugee from Eritrea who recently graduated from St. Mary’s College, a teacher who works with refugee and immigrant students at Digital Harbor High School, and the head of the International Rescue Committee, a resettlement agency in the city. Plus, we catch up with Baltimore Sun reporter Liz Bowie, whose series last year profiled refugee students at Patterson High School.
