“Refugees are here because they have no choice. They also bring enormous gifts and talents, as Tung did. They just need an opportunity. I hope our story inspires others to understand that people from different backgrounds can find common ground if we just listen to each other. We can all be bigger than our individual selves. We all have tremendous power to change the lives of others and help the world become more mixed and accepting ... Everyone can get to know people who are different than they are. Everyone can help where they see a need. We all have stories to tell, and the best thing we can do for ourselves and the world is to listen to each other.” DifferentStoriesUnderstandingAcceptanceImmigrationDialogueRefugeeRefugees Book:Mango & Peppercorns: A Memoir of Food, an Unlikely Family, and the American Dream Source: Mango & Peppercorns: A Memoir of Food, an Unlikely Family, and the American Dream
