"I lived as a refugee in a camp in Uganda for 19 years. We ate only rice, potatoes, beans, and bananas. There was never enough food, but living there was better than the life we left in Congo. Now, I’m in America. My greatest fear here is that I wont be able to help my children. When my son goes to kindergarten, his teachers tell him that his parents need to help with his schoolwork at home. I don’t know how to read or write though, so that has become a big problem."
