Our community was featured in this short documentary produced by MSA West.
“The City of Refuge was made to tell the stories of the three hundred Syrian Refugee families living in El Cajon, California. This documentary narrates our recent visit and we wish to raise awareness around the ongoing refugee crisis. According to state data, San Diego has welcomed more refugees than any other region in California. Most of them come from war-torn Syria: some leaving life-long friends, others leaving their own mothers, fathers, children, all leaving their homes.”
