主持人: 本期节目关注 Luma Mufleh 的工作，她通过创办难民学校和足球队，帮助难民儿童重建社区，并强调赋权的重要性。她的 TED 演讲"不要同情难民，要相信他们" 鼓舞人心，引发了广泛关注。Luma Mufleh 的工作为难民儿童带来了新的希望，也为我们提供了反思美国社会如何更好地接纳和帮助难民的契机。 Luma Mufleh: 我最初专注于个人发展，但在一次偶然的机会中，我开始关注并帮助难民儿童。通过与他们一起踢足球，我了解到他们面临的教育问题，这促使我创办了难民学校。我们的学校与传统学校不同，更注重学生的韧性、团队合作精神和积极性。我们通过独特的招生方式，选拔那些渴望改变、愿意努力的学生。学校的文化强调团队合作、责任感和毅力，我们鼓励学生互相帮助，共同进步。毕业生们有的进入大学深造，有的直接就业，他们都在各自的领域取得了成功。我相信，我们的教育模式不仅适用于难民儿童，也适用于所有孩子，它能够培养他们成为更好的人。

Shownotes Transcript

Engraved on the Statue of Liberty it reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...” A beautiful sentiment, indeed. The reality is a little less poetic. When refugees reach America’s shores today, they face the daunting task of rebuilding a sense of community while trying to work through a system that is ill-equipped to give them the support they need. That’s where Luma Mufleh comes in.   

Twenty-nine years ago, Luma came to the United States as a refugee and has since found herself on a path she didn’t expect - building schools to support refugee children. After hearing her TED Talk, “Don’t Feel Sorry For Refugees, Believe In Them,” I couldn’t wait to get her perspective on how to build a community devoted to taking care of each other. This is… A Bit of Optimism.
