Six Degrees of Separation: Understanding Inside Refugee Camps by Anjali Alwis (hour-long version)

Six Degrees of Separation is the work of Anjali Alwis, WAER reporter and Syracuse University graduate, who spent time in a refugee camp in Greece.  Her experiences and conversations with adults and children in the camp covered their living situations, their often treacherous journeys to the camps, as well as the views of aid workers and medical professionals.  

WAER ran six segments of the story in consecutive weeks.  Each of those stories is on our website.  Anjali also produced it in an hour-long format, which played on other public radio stations, and is featured here.
