Iraqi Refugees InterviewDescription
Fouad and Ahmed are the Iraqi students who produced our audio piece, "How to Be a Refugee in Syria." Now, they're just beginning their college studies in the U.S. They got here with help from the Iraqi Student Project, a group that helps promising young Iraqi refugees to get scholarships at American universities. Before starting school, the two took a road trip across the U.S. That’s when host Peggy Wehmeyer caught up with them.
