Our primary goal for this evening program was to give community members a chance to meet with and speak to refugees who recently resettled in our region.
During the course of the program, Julianne Tzul, executive director of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Boise, and Zeze Rwasama of the CSI Refugee Center discussed their organizations' work resettling refugees in Idaho.
The evening also showcased two new art exhibits at Ketchum's Sun Valley Museum of History: "The Refugee Portrait Project," which featured photographs by Ken Bingham, and a traveling exhibit of handmade quilts by refugees.
A packed house gathered at Ketchum, Idaho's Community Library to have dinner with local refugees.
