Another Hero Comes to McDonogh December 2
Character in Action: One Woman's Quest to Make a Difference
Last fall, Emmanuel Yeboah, the one-legged Ghanaian man whose bicycle trek across his native country helped to change the negative perceptions of the disabled, touched McDonogh with tales of his amazing experience. This year, the McDonogh Parents Association has invited Jordanian-born Luma Mufleh, the subject of the national bestseller "Outcasts United," to visit campus and share her equally compelling story on Thursday, December 2 at 7 p.m. in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre.
In 2004, Mufleh started a soccer team for refugee boys in Clarkston, Georgia, a community turned upside down by refugee resettlement. What started as a simple plan, changed a town and the lives of many.
The Washington Post calls her story "an uplifting tale celebrating the most old-fashioned of virtues: hard work, self-discipline, regard for others."
Since that first soccer season, Mufleh has established The Fugee Family, a non-profit organization that includes year-round soccer for 86 boys aged 10-18, after-school tutoring, a private academy, and an academic enrichment camp.
Mufleh will talk to the McDonogh community about the challenges she faces trying to help teenagers caught between worlds, no longer part of their war-torn native countries and outsiders in their new American home.
Come to Horn Theatre on December 2 and discover how her perseverance and resilience has helped countless refugees find a sense of security and belonging. Admission is free. There will be a book signing following the presentation.
