From Burma to the Bronx and Beyond, Part 4

"I feel like I am dreaming": When she was just 12 Mo Nom Tee Kham's family fled their native Burma to Thailand, where Mo Nom moved from an orphanage to a refugee camp and worked low paying jobs as an undocumented immigrant. With help from the International Rescue Committee, she and her family resettled in New York three years ago. Now she's studying on a merit scholarship at Dickinson College, where her favorite class is Education and Democracy.
In the fourth installment of a new IRC podcast series, Mo Nom's family arrives in New York. Of her first week in the city, Mo Nom recalls feeling that she was dreaming, but by the second week she can already imagine building a life there. "Wow--we finally have a home," She says. "we don't have to be scared anymore."

I have supported IRC for years; however I just discovered that Henry Kissinger, the author of the 200 pg "National Security Study Memorandum 200" which called for a massive population reduction of 13 key third world nations, is a chairman on the board for the IRC. I know that there are many genuinely good people working for the IRC, but I think that it is important for you to google that study ("National Security Study Memorandum 200") before you allocate money to the IRC.
