As of the end of May 2013, there are some 104,070 refugees and asylum-seekers registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Malaysia. 1,170 of them are Somalis. Deborah Henry joins us to shed light on this issue and to discuss a local school for Somali refugees, Fugee School, she co-founded. Two students from the school, Mohamed "Mango" and Yasmin, share their plights in the past and their hopes for the future.
