From Burma to the Bronx and Beyond
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.

A Week in West Africa
Visiting the International Rescue Committee's programs in Liberia and Sierra Leone was a life-changing experience for donors Jennifer and Peter Buffett. In one week, they met former child soldiers, survivors of sexual violence and families driven from their homes by war. Jennifer and Peter learned how IRC staff are working to improve the lives of Liberian and Sierra Leonean citizens and help them realize a more promising future.
Thanks to partnership with the Buffetts' NoVo Foundation, the IRC looks forward to doing even more in the region. We invite you to take a video trip with Peter and Jennifer.

Refugee Journeys
Right now, as war and violent conflict rages around the world, people just like you are running—
for their lives, their families, their dignity and freedom; for the chance to speak freely, to hold a loved one again, to create a better future for their children. They often have to leave everything behind. And they leave with nothing but their hope, courage, and determination. They are refugees.
