Host Naomi Wadler talks us through the difference between an immigrant and a refugee.

Mohamad tells us how education not only helps us learn and grow, but also helps build community. How does someone become a refugee? Correspondent Alejandro Alba explains, and why we should welcome them with an open heart.
