Summer 2009 at KRM
World Refugee Day 2009
A 2000 U.N. Resolution designated June 20 of each year as World Refugee Day. This year KRM held a World Refugee Day Concert led by jazz pianist Harry Pickens. Performers were from Bhutan, Burma, Burundi (Burundian Youth Choir shown above; photo courtesy of the Courier Journal), Cuba, Darfur, and Iraq.
Summer Youth Program 2009
KRM held a 7-week Summer Youth Program in 2009. Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) instructors provided 31 newly-arrived refugee kids with daily intensive ESL and academic skills instruction. The kids also participated in peace education and art therapy projects and enjoyed weekly visits from the Louisville Free Public Library’s Bookmobile. Field trips to the Kentucky Derby Museum, the Belle of Louisville, and the Louisville Dance Alliance provided a fun community orientation for these young newcomers. The summer program concluded with an Art Show (see the Photo Gallery tab under the Features tab).
