Our Fair city...

A few things I learned this week about our fair city of Fort Wayne:

  • Fort Wayne is designated as a Refugee Resettlement Center by the US State Department
  • There are 74 languages represented in the FWCS district
  • Fort Wayne is the largest resettlement center for Burmese in the US
  • Fort Wayne has 3 Islamic mosques and 2 Buddhist temples
  • Many of the "immigrants" you see in our city are simply Refugees who have fled to save their own lives.
  • Some left family behind or knew they were killed which spured their flight

Something to think about...
