Akron, Ohio might be well known
as a the rubber capital of the world, but its also the city where 8
languages (Nepali, Hindi, Thai, Karen, Uzbek, Twi, Burmese and English) are spoken in a high school soccer team. It’s a big
challenge for the
coach who has to deal with 29 of his 30 players who were born outside of
USA. Among the 30 players, 15 are of Bhutanese descent who were born in
Nepal. “It’s pretty fun being here,” Says one of the player, Kailash Ghimire.
He further says, “it is a much better
place than our country. We were in a refugee camp. Now we are here and we
have our own house. We can go and work and have money and buy our own stuff
like cars and other things. In our country, we didn’t have a car and other
things."
