After a Long Haul, Refugees Settle Into New Lives Far from Home

"The fact is, being a refugee is a lot like being in a war. You spend so much time stuck in "hurry up and wait." There's the ceaseless boredom, the detachment, the being treated like a pariah because you happened to be from a war-torn country. For children especially, you can sense a lot of fear." -Amanda Rivkin
