If you want a break from politics, check out the article in today's NY Times about the Fugees, a soccer team made up of kids who are refugees from some of the worst wars and conflicts around the world:
The Fugees are indeed all refugees, from the most troubled corners — Afghanistan, Bosnia, Burundi, Congo, Gambia, Iraq, Kosovo, Liberia, Somalia and Sudan. Some have endured unimaginable hardship to get here: squalor in refugee camps, separation from siblings and parents. One saw his father killed in their home.These little guys are survivors. And, their volunteer coach, Luma Mufleh, is a real hero. The leaders of Clarkston, Georgia don't make it easy for her and the team. If you've got the time, read the article. It's actually inspiring.
The team has a website, www.fugeesfamily.org. Thanks to our reader, Wordsmith, for the link.
