SAC presents: Bhutanese Nepalese Refugees: Stories of Struggle and Resilience

 Bhutanese Nepalese Refugees: Stories of Struggle and Resilience Since 2008, tens of thousands of ethnic Nepalese from Bhutan have been resettled in the United States. What are the circumstances that have forced them to flee Bhutan? What kinds of repatriation and resettlement programs have been attempted? What has been the reaction from other South Asian nations? What are their concerns as one of the many refugee communities in upstate New York? Please join us as Hari Adikhari, Bhutanese Nepalese refugee community leader and case manager for Catholic Charities, along with other members of the Bhutanese Nepalese community in Syracuse will share their stories and discuss issues that affect their community.
