Billionaire Facebook founder, Mark Zukerberg, has just had his first Iftar dinner with a group of Somali refugees in the US!
Sharing the photo, the father of one wrote:
Tonight I had my first Iftar dinner with a group of Somali refugees in Minneapolis.
As a refugee, you often don’t get to choose which country you end up
in. When I asked one man, who had spent 26 years in a refugee camp,
whether America now felt like home, he gave a simple and profound
answer:
“Home is where you are free to do what you want. Yes, this feels like home.”There are few places in the world he felt comfortable to be who he is:
the country he was born, and our country that values freedom.
What a beautiful tribute to America.
Thanks to my hosts for being so gracious at the very end of Ramadan. I
left impressed by your strength and resilience to build a new life in an
unfamiliar place, and you are a powerful reminder of why this country
is so great.
