Stories: Saving Leo: Portfolio028

Leo hid in a closet as he played a game of hide-and-seek with Alex. With political unrest in their home country of Burundi the future is uncertain for Alex and Leo. So far they have been unable to return home. Leo is now enrolled in kindergarten on Cape Cod and Alex remains here as his caretaker. Alex worries about his family who has since fled to Rwanda and mourns the friends in Bujumbura who were killed as a result of the conflict there. Questions remain about what it will be like for both of them to return home, once they are able. Leo no longer remembers how to speak Kirundi and it's unclear how the transition from American life back to his small village in Burundi with nine siblings will go.
