The Lost No More stories

A number of stories from our One Book, One Philadelphia event in January are now up on our Web site. Here is a preview of one student's account of coming to the United States:

I came to the United States for many things like to work and to earn money to invest in my country. Why do I want to invest in my country? Because I see from afar people who have returned to Senegal from Europe with money but without a plan for investing.

Now I am going to talk a little about my arrival in the United States. Before I took the plane I was a little sad, the night of my departure I left all my best friends there.

But thanks to God I had a good trip. Now I am in America. I miss everyone, particularly my mother and my little brothers.
