Since the Bantu were oppressed in Somalia, most of the children have had little or no education, but they did pick up some English while living in refugee camps, Greenaway explained. “We mostly help them with literacy skills, math and language,” Greenaway said. “They trick you in English.

There are few universities in the country that match the diversity of land and people that surround Parkland. We have urban, suburban, shoreline, rural, foothill and Native American communities. We have the fourth largest US military base in the world next door that brings with it the ninth largest veteran community. We are at the center of a rapidly
