    Coming to a whole new country is challenging especially with speaking a nonoriginal language and having to get used to the culture. In this podcast episode, we're going to talk about a service-learning student organization at Boise State University. This organization work with elder refugees (60+) at the English Language Center in Boise. With guidance from a mentor teacher, volunteers assist with classroom activities that help elders navigate their daily lives. The overall goal is to not only prepare elders for the citizenship exam, but also to develop elder's English skills so that they can contribute to, and feel a sense of belonging in, their communities.

    “We lost our Home. Which means the familiarity of life. We lost our occupation, the confidence that we are of some use in this world. We lost our language, which means the naturalness of reactions, the simplicity of gesture, the unaffected expression of feelings.” Said by Hannah Arendt
