World Refugee Day 20 June 2004 “A place to call home” STATEMENT BY RUUD LUBBERS U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees All of us need a place to call home - a place where we "belong." But for millions of refugees and displaced people around the world today, home is little more than a distant dream. Fleeing persecution and conflict, often with nothing more than the clothes on their backs, refugees are separated from all that is familiar - from family, friends, work, community and culture. Faced with an uncertain future in a strange land, the sense of loss and alienation can be overwhelming. To lose one's home can be to lose one's very identity. Yet, despite the enormity of their suffering, refugees never give up their dream of "home" and all that it entails - family, acceptance, security, a sense of belonging and self-worth.

  • Chronicles of Brunonia
    Chronicles of Brunonia The Things They Planted Molly Jacobson Almost four hundred years ago, Roger Williams and his companions paddled down the Seekonk River and landed on the Rhode Island shore. Surrounded by wilderness, with no outside aid and scarce resources, these first settlers slowly raised their farms and homesteads, scavenged for food, and drafted laws for their community. http://dl.lib.brown.edu/cob Copyright © 2008 Molly Jacobson Written in partial fulfillment of requirements for E. Taylor’s EL18 or 118: “Tales of the Real World” in the Nonfiction Writing Program, Department of English, Brown University. Today, relics of the first European settlers of Rhode Island are buried mentally and physically by Providence. Asphalt runs over apple orchards Thomas Angell used to own. The Old State House presides over the western part of John Sweet’s fields. Waterman Street, which hugs Brown University, is the final legacy of the Englishman who lent it his name, while Brown’s English Department sits atop the northern end of his garden. The first Baptist Church in America straddles the original Francis Weston homestead. When these men and others left the Puritan settlement at Massachusetts in the early 1600s, they found immaculate countryside across the Seekonk River. Religious outcasts and enterprising colonists united to establish the Providence Plantations, laying ground for a singularly liberal colony. Today, historians herald them for their tolerance and independence. But these lofty ideals belie a more immediate human struggle. Before industry and new immigrants, the founders of Providence toiled dutifully by primitive farmhouses along the Seekonk to feed their families.
