The players, 11- and 12-year-olds from Liberia, Afghanistan, and Sudan, soon welcomed her as coach of their ragtag but fiercely competitive group. Drawn into their lives, Mufleh learned that few of her players, all local public school students, could read a single word. She asks, “Where was the America that took me in? That protected me? How can I get these kids to that America?”Learning...2022-03-3146 min
Read Learn Live PodcastLearning America - Ep 96 with Luma Mufleh Learning America traces the story of how Mufleh grew a group of kids into a soccer team and then into a nationally acclaimed network of schools for refugee children.

Finally, this gifted storyteller delivers provocative, indelible portraits of student after student making leaps in learning that aren’t suppo...2022-03-3146 min

That’s where Luma Mufleh comes in. Twenty-nine years ago, Luma came to the United States as a refugee and has since found herself on a path she didn’t expect - bui...2022-01-1828 min
