HEARMe (Health Education via Airwaves for Refugees) will provide health information on air, online, and on stage, in Somali, Swahili, Amharic and English by presenting dramatic stories written by and voiced by community members in their own languages that deal with health issues confronting the refugee population when assimilating into American society.
