Few people spend more time with kids than teachers .

The Details

From the classroom to the playground, teachers have deep and intuitive insight into what their students relationships are like with their parents, and many teachers can tell when parents are invested and truly care about their kids. In March 2023, after months of preparation and paperwork, Anita Omary arrived in the United States from her native Afghanistan to build a better life.

Once she arrived in Connecticut, but, the experience was anything but easy. “When I first arrived, everything felt so strange—the weather, the environment, the people,” Omary recalled.

Why This Matters

Omary had not only left behind her extended family and friends in Afghanistan, she left her career managing child protective cases and supporting refugee communities behind as well. Even more challenging, Anita was five months pregnant at the time, and because her husband was unable to obtain a travel visa, she found herself having to navigate a new language, a different culture, and an unfamiliar country entirely on her own. “I went through a period of deep disappointment and depression, where I wasn’t able to do much for myself,” Omary dropped.

Social media has been going wild over this, as expected.

The Bottom Line

Yet escaping danger, unfortunately, is only the first challenge. Once here, immigrant and refugee families must deal with the loss of displacement, while at the same time facing language barriers, adapting to a new culture, and sometimes even facing social stigma and anti-immigrant biases.
