Burmese library opens as population continues to grow

Many Burmese people in Fort Wayne come to Hope Community Church to learn English.

One local woman we talked to says breaking that language barrier is one way to bring the community closer.

As a young child, growing up wasn’t easy for Shar Aung.

“To be completely honest, I started from the dirt. Like how we would play in the dirt,” Aung said.

She says her mother brought her and her brother here from their Thailand refugee camp when she was 11. (Courtesy of wane.com)
