Syrian Refugees in the United States: One Family's Story
Channel: vlogbrothers
Date: 21/06/2016

Join me in signing UNHCR's With Refugees petition: http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/petition/

In which John meets with Syrian refugees Mufak, Nada, and their five kids in Amman, Jordan, and then a few months later shortly after the family's resettlement in Rockford, Illinois.

Thanks first to Mufak, Nada, their children, and their relatives for being so generous both in Amman and in the United States. Thanks also to Rosianna (http://youtube.com/rosianna), who joined me on both trips and captured much of the footage, and to UNHCR, the UN's Refugee Agency, for introducing me to the family and providing translators.

And thanks to Mark Olsen for his excellent graphic detailing the vetting process refugees go through before being accepted for resettlement in the U.S. You can learn more about that process here: http://refugees.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Security-Check-Steps.pdf
