More than 1,600 refugees have come to the United States in the last year. And in spite of a brief flap over Gov. Ted Strickland’s comments on refugees and opposition to the Iraq war earlier this year, 14 Iraqis are now in Ohio, after fleeing for their lives, uprooting their families, quitting their jobs and leaving behind all they owned to seek safety in a strange new country. Several of them are here in Columbus, and one is ready to tell his story. Those who end their journeys in Columbus turn to a non-profit organization called Us Together, which is headed up by Nadia Kasvin, who explains her work.
