Top: Amna Al Qaisi came to Tucson, Ariz., with her family as refugees, after they left their country of Iraq .
During the Journalism Diversity Workshop for the Arizona High School Students. One is the students worked on a story on the Iraqi community in Tucson.
I took her to Nadya Malillis home, who left Iraq a year and a half ago after her husband was kidnapped in Baghdad. Now she lives with her daughter Tanya Ali,8, who has adopted the American life quickly.
Currently I've been working with refugee families from Iraq. Since I can't go to Iraq I have decide to discover and learn about their culture here in my home town of Tucson, Ariz.
Both Amna and Nadya live in the same apartment complex and have become very good friends.
