The segment description says the soccer program is for boys--is there anything for girls?
It would be lovely to have Ms. Muna Mufleh, the coach, on the show. I would love to hear her story.
THE HELP THAT CERTAIN REFUGEES GET FROM THE GOV'T (LITTLE OR BIG) IS DEPENDING ON WHICH COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE FROM AND HOW USEFUL THAT
YOU WILL BE TO THIS SOCIETY...
THE FUGEES WILL SURVIVE..
