Refugee Life in Lincoln: Peh Wah Mu and Martha

Peh Wah Mu is originally from Burma, and spent twenty-five years in a Thailand refugee camp before moving to Lincoln, NE in 2009. In this video, Peh Wah and her interpreter, Martha, discuss their relationship and Peh Wah's education in the United States. A number of volunteer organizations, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services, provide assistance to refugees in Lincoln as they learn English and adapt to their new homes.
