Three HearMe Youths at Microphones

 

Their voices are soft and sometimes hesitant. These on-air personalities are not your typical DJs. They are immigrant student interns from Clarkston, Georgia — two young men from Nepal and a young woman from Somalia. They have come together to explore each other's histories and talk about what it is like to be a young immigrant in the United States. They have come together to work, to make a radio show. We invite you to listen to what they have to say.

Learn more about the HearMe Project, (Health Education via Airwaves for Refugees)  which has many other audio programs uploaded on the New Routes site.
