My heart is just bursting with pride. I received an email this week from The Spero Project, an amazing NGO working in Oklahoma City. One of their projects is with international refugees resettled in Oklahoma City, and it was unabashedly my favorite part of my job there. Well, the refugees and Kim.
This week, I got to hear a song that was written by some of the high school aged girls. They are all refugees from Burma, but of different ethnicities. And they wrote this song together:
Burma, Burma,
You are in my heart, though we are apart.
Rangoon, Mandalay,
We will pray for you; we will pray for you.
Burma, Burma,
You are in my heart, though we are apart.
Rangoon, Mandalay,
We will pray for you
and will see you again someday.
Absolutely beautiful. And I’m so absolutely proud!
