Index of SPPS Budget Discussion http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/spps-posts.html _________________________________________
An article in todays paper recounts some of what the St. Paul delegation learned while visiting the refugee camp in Thailand.
I'd love to have a discussion in our forum (or online, in another space) about the possible influx of refugees, the results/lessons of the trip to Thailand, and what we can still do to prepare for these refugees.
I know that at least two subscribers to this list were on the trip and others are involved in this issue.
Please contact me if you'd be willing to help organize OR PARTICIPATE in a city-wide discussion on this topic. Forward this message to individuals or organizations that might also be interested.

ST. PAUL: Refugees' distress recounted at forum http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/local/8260056.htm BY TODD NELSON
"Uncertainty over resettlement in the United States is causing anxiety, depression and even suicidal thoughts among Hmong refugees huddled at a ramshackle compound in Thailand, members of a St. Paul delegation that visited the camp this month told hundreds of listeners Tuesday."
