Show 381--African Stowaways (Half hour to air week of April 30, 2011)

From: World Vision Report
Series: World Vision Report - Weekly Half Hour
Length: 28:00

When Africans want to escape political persecution, they often come seeking asylum in the U.S. But getting here often involves being smuggled from one country to another. This week the World Vision Report talks with some of those migrants. We also re-visit Haiti where adults and children still live in temporary camps and kids no longer go to school--because there is no school. But people are helping them to learn anyway. Those stories and a lot more--this week on the World Vision Report. Read the full description.
