“Refugees from countries like Ukraine, Burundi and Afghanistan gathered at the North Austin YMCA Saturday morning to sell items at a bazaar. It’s a way to help refugees earn some money by selling items from their culture.
The bazaar was put together by the Austin Y and Global Impact Initiative. Central Texas has seen more than 2,000 refugees settle around the area in the past two years, according to event organizers. Many of them leaving their career behind in their home country and trying to start a new life in the United States.”
