"If you ever wonder about the things that make you feel like you are at home, I invite you to join me, Dr. Anjuliet Woodruffe, as I talk about what home means when you leave your native land and discuss how I've had to find and relocate that feeling of being at home in another country."

Henry L. Ouma recently published his memoir, which chronicles his humble beginnings in rural Kenya in the 1940's, to his migration to the U.S. in 1965. He traveled the world extensively working for the UN. In 2003, he returned to his homeland to focus on community development initiatives that he started in 1984. His testimony speaks to the many international immigrants in the U.S. who are reluctant to return home.
