These individuals have survived against incredible odds.

SEE MORE FROM BOISE, ID Welcome from our director Refugees are vibrant, smart, caring, amazing human beings. They are resilient. They have survived violence and protracted waits in refugee camps. They bring with them all the creativity and learning that helped them survive extreme hardship that most of us are privileged enough to have never suffered. Refugees are Idahoans, like the rest of us, and are part of what makes Idaho a great place. Julianne Donnelly Tzul Julianne Donnelly Tzul is director of the IRC's Boise office.
