AM (5.13.13) — Settling Into INW

Shortly after moving into a new apartment, a neighbor allowed Omar Abdulrazaq to use his computer to email his family in the Middle East on Feb. 18. Later, Omar would purchase his own television, slightly smaller than this one. Omar is one of 500 Iraqis settled in Spokane by World Relief since 1992. Story here. (SR photo: Tyler Tjomsland)
