Our latest CIH Refugee Course - a small but very diverse group.

Our latest refugee course only has x10 participants, but there are five different nationalities represented. There are five Colombians, two Iraqis, one Eritrean, one Afghani and one Burmese.  If you then include the nationalities of the tutor, interpreter and other assistants there are a total of eight nationalities (an Egyptian, a Chilean and two New Zealanders).  There is a wonderful atmosphere in the class with an excellent camaraderie developing.  Graduation for this class will be at 1 pm on 28 June 2014.
