What does a film producer, a sitar player and an athlete have in common...?

I discovered more about some of the refugees I am working with here today - one is a designer, another a film script writer and another a pastor. Add this to the female civil engineer, the animator and film producer, a professional athlete and a seamstress, a famous singer and a sitar player and I think you can see this is an amazing group of people. The tragedy is, of course, none of them are doing the job they love in the place of their choice . They are just waiting for a UN decision on a new destination - a new country, a new life. The average wait seems to be 2 long, uncertain, jobless, hungry years...
