in their home country and had to flee for safety

the biggest challenge is making an American friend

today is significant because it gives us an opportunity

to recognize refugees in our community

I have been in the united states for about six years

its an opportunity for the community to come together Every one of these folks

has an amazing story

we were the first arrivals in the United States of our Families

Utah is absolutely fantastic what I like about

Utah is that it is really beautiful back home we have conflicts

There are dancers that have been scheduled all day long

all day long from different countries we have a soccer tournament

final, crafts tents

kids activities, face painting, baby goats

obstacle course for young people

I've never imagined that I would be in the United States you know

today this event is the most important event

because it brings different countries together

This is a great place

to make a friend that is why we do it
