Video blog: The Liberian Refugees of Buduburam

Refugees

Video documentary of my July 2005 visit to the Liberian refugee camp in Buduburam, Ghana. I learn about the challenges faced by Liberians forced to flee their homeland, as well as some of the training programs available to them. I visit one of the camp's telecentres, as well as an women's literacy support group. Music used with permission of Alula Records.

    its seems nobody has put a comment in here for some time but I am here to warn people of scammers
    I opened my heart to a liberian refugee and his daughter his name is Joseph Morrison or Joseph Stalin Odio and with one story after another he managed to get me to send so much money its just terrible to even think of as Im so up against it now. All stories were very valid concerns on thier own but put them all together and its too much to happen in one persons life actually its like a Forrest Gump movie it just keeps going on and so many things happen its just unbelievable and you know your been had and u know the hardest thing to face is that it wasnt real that the dream of meeting him and all the stories were just a means to an end and me as a person didnt matter I was just means to his greed
