It's way past time for an update from the Refugee Elder Program! In November, we began meeting at Highland United Methodist Church, just a few blocks down from KRM on Cherokee Road. Since then, we've celebrated two elders passing their citizenship exams!

This month, Aimee's class has been learning food and cooking terms. Today in school they made soup to demonstrate what they've been learning. Most of the Bhutanese Nepalis don't eat meat, so they made vegetable soup so all of the students could enjoy it. They shared it with the other classes and the entire pot was gone- it was a big hit!

We're always having all kinds of fun at the Refugee Elder Program. I promise I'll try to update the blog more often!
Looks like everyone had a great time, but...was it cold in there?
