Television:

One of my favorite families!!! They came to America from their home country of Burundi in East Africa. One of hundreds of thousands of families having to flee their homeland due to war and bloodshed in that area of the world. Beautiful people... Jean, Estella, Juvenal, Emmanuel, and Samuel. Mohamud likes to hang out too! I tutor Juvenal and the rest of the family in English, and of course provide lots of entertainment! Who knew you could have so much fun and make such good freinds with people who come from a different country, culture, background, and speak a completely different language!??? The only boundaries in this world are the ones we create and place on ourselves!
