International Rescue Committee: On Food and Nutrition

      Nedim Izetbegovic, of the IRC, talked about some observations he has made with regard to refugee nutrition. Izetbegovic is one of the few Bosnian interpreters for the IRC and does a lot of integration work for Muslim refugees who come to Salt Lake City. He hopes more and more people come out to the IRC to volunteer. Through advocacy, education, community gardening, and resource development, the IRC provides refugees with opportunities to access healthy foods and nutrition education in Salt Lake City.
