It's got a bird's-eye view from the war zone to the neighboring state to the refugee transit route to the lucky few getting resettled here. But I can say to you in Oakland, in Sacramento, in San Jose, in Turlock, you can volunteer to make a differenceto someone's life. And if you want to make the world better, doing it one life at a time is a good place to start.
But there's also nutritional information on some of our patients. We resettled last year 15,000 people.
And then he came to visit me, and I said, hey, I saw your name on the list of the people who are going to be resettled to the US. Because, as you know, US is always taking refugees from refugee camps, and then they bring them over here.
And the experience is really common across a lot of these refugee communities of resettlement in the US, where the resettlement process was really flawed. They were resettled in neighborhoods that had really high rates of poverty, high rates of unemployment, high rates of incarceration, at the height of the war on drugs. And a lot of them were funneled into the prison system, the criminal system, when they were teenagers and now decades later are facing deportation.
But there's also nutritional information on some of our patients. Andy Grove was a resettled refugee by the IRC, which is pretty extraordinary.
So there's been a build up, but very few solutions at the root causes. Very few refugees are resettled . So of the numbers you mentioned, Mike, maybe 1% only get resettled .

I thought I was smart, but I was a little naive. They traveled halfway around the world, resettled , put down new roots, achieved middle-class status, raised a family, prospered, eventually
And it's a unique role that only they can play, that none of us can play. And that's because, of the 30,000 North Koreans that have resettled in South Korea today, it's estimated that more than 50% of them have been able to reestablish contact with their family members inside of that country.
There's food. There's shelter. There's peace. He's heard that maybe there's the possibility of getting resettled to the United States. Maryam thinks, that sounds quite good.

And the experience is really common across a lot of these refugee communities of resettlement in the US, where the resettlement process was really flawed.
