Show Notes
Take a walk through Balboa Park, and you'll find dozens of historic cottages celebrating cultures around the world.
The volunteer-driven "houses" are officially called the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages. They promote education, community and cultural understanding.
Now, the House of Somalia is joining them to become the first African country represented by the Balboa Park cottages. We talk about its significance and the Somali community in San Diego.
Guest:
- Rahmo Abdi, president and co-founder, House of Somalia
