"NaTakallam is like a free bird that transcends all borders and carries us to places we dream of, a window for refugees to the outside world... and a salary. I worked with the program at a time when I could not find a job that would help pay for the medication for my wife who has cancer.  Despite the difficult conditions, NaTakallam gives us an income and enables us to discover different cultures and traditions through the many students we connect with [over skype]." --Shadi, Syrian refugee and conversation partner in Erbil
