On Thursday Academy Village
will host the third and final talk in a series by refugees from
troubled countries in south Asia and Africa who have settled in Tucson.
Sponsored by the Arizona Senior Academy, the program begins at 3:30 p.m. in the great room of the Arizona Senior Academy Building, 13715 E. Langtry Lane.
Eh Ray Roe Paw will speak and serve as translator for her mother, Kan Myint, as they describe their experiences in their home country of Myanmar (commonly known by its former name of Burma) and in Thailand, were they spent time in a refugee camp.
Since they arrived in Tucson in 2007, the young refugee became fluent in English, graduated from Catalina Magnet High School and is now attending Pima Community College. She also serves as case manager and interpreter for the Tucson area Karen community through the Tucson International Alliance of Refuge Communities, which arranged the refugee series at the Arizona Senior Academy.
Due to the popularity of educational and cultural events at the academy and limited seating, non-members are advised to make advance reservations — email info@arizonasenioracademy.org or call 647-0980.
