Hello Gators for Refugee Medical Relief, 
Welcome to season 3 episode 1 of the Redefining Refugee podcast. I am your host, Reema Ismail. Today we are interviewing Dr. Havyarimana. Dr. Havyarimana grew up in a refugee camp in Tanzania after a civil war in his home country, Burundi. After growing up as a refugee with only his brother, he came to the United States at the age of 18 and entered high school. He is now a practicing Emergency Medicine Physician in Tallahassee, Florida. He is also involved in refugee advocacy work here in Florida. We speak about his story, why he went into a career in medicine, and he shares some tips for refugees and migrants around the world! I hope this episode inspires you as much as it has inspired me. Thank you all for listening and please share with your friends, family, and on Instagram and tag us at @grmruf.
