Citizen Diplomacy at Home
Citizen diplomacy can take place either abroad or domestically. The story for today focuses on an organization in Tucson, Arizona that deals with refugees who have come to the United States from conflict-stricken countries. Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting Network deals primarily with refugees from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia and helps them assimilate into American culture by teaching English and assisting them into becoming self-sufficient members of the Tucson community.
