Immigrants and International Development: Beyond Remittances
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-12-13/immigrants-and-international-development-beyond-remittances
It is common for immigrants in the United States to send money and resources back to their homeland. For many though, sending money is not enough. Instead, they share a common dream: to improve life for those still living in the communities from which they came. We meet foreign students studying in the US and first-generation immigrants who are taking the skills learned in America back to create innovative projects on the ground in Haiti, Cameroon and Ecuador.
