        There is no place like home. Nowhere in the world is the "best place" to be a refugee.

        Let's treat refugees with kindness. Everyone is fighting a hard battle. From the look of things, I may be one of them soon

        Most definitely it is, but again like the saying goes; East or West, home is best.

        Uganda is a poor country. Refugees can't escape the challenges the locals face. We share what little is available. Deplorable? Move on

        Maybe not, but at least they are accommodating, and right now to a refugee that means a great deal.
