Members of FaithAction's United African Sisters
New refugee families continue to arrive in Greensboro, primarily from Bhutan, Iraq and Burma. As in previous years there will also be Montagnards coming to Greensboro, most of whom will be joining family members who already are here. We also expect to have families coming from Central Africa, Liberia and Burundi. The recent sudden closing of a refugee center in Thailand is forcing the US and other governments to receive refugees on very short notice, and many of these are coming into the Triad area.
