Thanks for tuning in to WPKN Radio 89.5-FM my conversation with Claudia Connor of the International Institute of Connecticut, listen to a High School Student- Akbar- from Bridgeport, who was resettled from Burundi during the war there and went through the Congo and ended up in a Tanzanian refugee where he spent more than 15 years.  read his poem AND, hear about the artist Rick Shaefer's response to the refugee crisis, Refugee Trilogy, now on view at the Fairfield University Art Museum, Walsh Gallery.
