We are creating a unique performance highlighting the stories of seven refugee and asylee women from her book, "Tears of War--Stories of Refugee Women." The women will present their stories of fleeing their war-impacted country, surviving the horrific journey to refuge, adjusting to a refugee camp or a neighboring country, and resettling in San Diego. The proceeds from the presentation will be donated to Casa Cornelia. Two of the women from Tears of War were granted asylum through the efforts of Casa Cornelia. Casa Cornelia is committed to providing pro bono legal services to uphold the legal rights of individuals fleeing their native countries due to political, social, religious, or ethnic persecution and/or torture. Casa Cornelia is the only non-profit law firm in San Diego County that provides free legal services to San Diego’s detained unaccompanied children. In addition, they provide immigration legal services to children detained elsewhere in the U.S. who were released in San Diego and are still in deportation proceedings, and they represent children who are not in deportation proceedings but are eligible for immigration relief. Without this program, many children wouldn’t have access to relief. or the protection afforded them by law.
