The Heads on Fire Community

Melia, Zaira and I have been working on interviewing immigrants/refugees from Sudan. On Saturday, Aug 8th, Melia and I interviewed a man named Lam Muamg at the Sudanese Center on Fairmont Ave. They were having a fundraiser buy selling tradtional sudanese food and we also got a taste of this food. Mr. Muamg was very helpful and we enjoyed getting to know him.
