Today is World Refugee Day. My ESL (English as a Second Language) students from the Saskatoon Open Door Society and I are going to attend a special citizenship court at City Hall this afternoon. Several of my students are refugees from countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Bosnia.

Speaking of refugees, there's good news from Canada for some refugees who fled Burma. (I don't refer to the country as "Myanmar" because that's the name that the military junta that rules Burma uses.)
