Luma Mufleh - a Muslim woman, a gay refugee from hyper-conservative Jordan - joins a pick-up game of soccer in Clarkston, Georgia. The players, 11- and 12-year-olds from Liberia and Afghanistan and Sudan, have attended local schools for years. Drawn in as coach of a ragtag but fiercely competitive team, Mufleh discovers that few of her players can read a word. She asks, "Where was the America that took me in? That protected me? How can I get these kids to that America?" For fans of Malala, Paul Tough, and Bryan Stevenson, Learning America is the moving and insight-packed story of how Luma Mufleh grew a soccer team into a nationally acclaimed network of schools - by homing in laserlike on what traumatized students need in order to learn. Fugees accepts only those most in need: Students recruit other students, and all share a background of war, poverty, and trauma. No student passes a grade without earning it, the failure of any student is the responsibility of all. Most foundational, everyone takes art and music and everyone plays soccer, areas where students make the leaps that can and must happen - as this gifted refugee activist convinces - even for America's most left-behind.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3246415</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3246415</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mufleh, Luma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3246415133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>One Woman&apos;s Fight for Educational Justice for Refugee Children</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780358701644/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Here]]></title><description><![CDATA["Refugee advocate Luma Mufleh writes of her tumultuous journey to reconcile her identity as a gay Muslim woman and a proud Arab-turned-American refugee"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3262329</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3262329</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mufleh, Luma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3262329133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593354452/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning America]]></title><description><![CDATA["It was a wrong turn that changed everything. When Luma Mufleh--a Muslim, gay, refugee woman from hyper-conservative Jordan--stumbled upon a pick-up game of soccer in Clarkston, Georgia, something compelled her to join.  The players, 11- and 12-year-olds from Liberia, Afghanistan, and Sudan, soon welcomed her as coach of their ragtag but fiercely competitive group. Drawn into their lives, Mufleh learned that few of her players, all local public school students, could read a single word. She asks, "Where was the America that took me in? That protected me?
