An Interview with Mohammad Jawad

Today’s episode features a conversation with Mohammad Jawad, a refugee from Syria, who was resettled in Syracuse, N.Y., with his wife and children. Mohammad shares memories of his youth in Syria before the civil war, the obstacles he and his family faced as they fled their homeland and lived for ten years in a refugee camp in Jordan, and the opportunities they found when they were selected for resettlement in the U.S. Using the skills in information technology that he honed against all odds during their years in limbo in Jordan, Mohammad now works for InterFaith Works of Central New York, one of EMM’s affiliate organizations in Syracuse. To hear his story is to be amazed at the power of human resilience and determination in the pursuit of one’s dreams.
