Note: Due to inclement weather forcasted for Tuesday evening, this event has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 1st at 7 pm.
As part of the Social Justice Ministry at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff, an amazing film about the refugee resettlement experience, Moving to Mars, will be screened on Tuesday, March 1st at 7pm.
The film "follows two refugee families from Burma over the course of a year that will change their lives completely. Forced from their homeland by the repressive military junta, they have lived in a Thai refugee camp for many years. A resettlement scheme offers them the chance of a new life, but their new home, in the British city of Sheffield, will be different to everything they have ever known."
We've arranged to have a group of Karen musicians perform in conjunction with the screening, and we will also have some traditional Karen crafts available for sale after the event. We'll have a brief discussion after the film about the many volunteer opportunities that are available. It should be a really great event, and we hope that you'll join us!
This blog is dedicated to sharing the triumphs and struggles of recently resettled refugees in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We hope that this blog will not only be informational, but will inspire others to get involved in efforts to volunteer to help this community.
