praying during her lunch break at United Community Action Partnership Feb. 13, 2018 in Willmar. After graduating high school, she worked several jobs and now works as a Somali Bilingual Outreach Worker at UCAP. As a Muslim, Kosar prays five times a day. “Being able to pray at work makes my life so much easier,” Kosar said. “I’ve had many jobs where I wasn’t able to pray because of discrimination or because I wasn’t able to take my break at a certain time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1523444643517-ITPNNCPHI2YR33LPXAFR/033118.F.HamdiKosar_008.jpg A Rural Refugee Kosar, left, and her sister Ismahan Kosar with her three-month-old son Ilhan Liban sit on the couch in their apartment in Willmar Mar. 30, 2018. Kosar’s sister gave birth to Liban this January. Both sisters stayed in Minnesota while their family lives in Kenya for several years. “I am going to miss them, but I have a life here now,” said Kosar. “It was hard to see them go but, I’ve created a community here and I want to keep working.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574036330871-H8YG3ZNJCTJ5RACPG05E/HamdiGradMay15.0061.jpg A Rural Refugee Hamdi Kosar chats with a friend before the Minnesota West Community and Technical College graduation ceremony May 15, 2019 at Yellow Medicine East High School in Granite Falls.

She does not have much free time because of her many obligations. Despite having been in the United States for only several years, she said she feels as if she has found her place in the community most of which has been through her activism. "Life will push you to the edge until you say, ‘I’m ready to get up,’” Kosar said. “When you believe that God is with you throughout the entire way, when you have that trust, you are no longer fearful. That’s why I a do what I do and try and give back to the community.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1523444415184-Y62OBYCYW83BCUN0MJYK/033118.F.HamdiKosar_04.jpg.jpg A Rural Refugee Kosar and her family members carry suitcases out of their apartment in Willmar to leave for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport Mar. 4, 2018. Eight of Kosar’s siblings and her two parents are flying back to stay in Garissa, a city in Kenya, for several years while she and her sister Ismahan Kosar stay in Willmar. The Kosar’s traveled back to Kenya to allow the children to familiarize themselves with the family’s culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574036818770-PO79E5JPEQXIXUTSJZ5T/092219.F.WCT.RuralRefugeeKenya.1899.jpg A Rural Refugee Hamdi Kosar pauses while walking through the streets of Eastleigh, a predominantly Muslim and Somali neighborhood in Nairobi, Aug. 16, 2019. Many Somali refugees shop here while they are in the resettlement centers before they head elsewhere to seek asylum. This neighborhood was particularly hard for Kosar to see. “It’s very emotional for me to see this,” she said. “My religion teaches us to care for the poor and people don’t even stop to talk to them. I want to help people, but I also feel helpless because I can’t give them enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574036928407-BR00PZ6Z0B5C9TTWJLND/092219.F.WCT.RuralRefugeeKenya.1395.jpg A Rural Refugee Khalid Ahmed, Kosar's cousin, helps lift a suitcase up the steps while Hamdi Kosar and Jessica Rohloff follow Aug. 23, 2019 in Nairobi.

Osman has lived in the camp for around 30 years and went through the resettlement process with Kosar’s family nearly a decade ago. Her daughter, who she hasn’t seen in 10 years, was resettled to the U.S. and now lives in Willmar. “I talk to myself because I miss her so much,” Osman said to Kosar. “Seeing you I am able to see my daughter.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574037015454-4UTSMTCVCA4D0ABLM54Y/092219.F.WCT.RuralRefugeeKenya.0600.jpg A Rural Refugee Hamdi Kosar stands up after sitting at a desk in her former elementary school, Juba Primary School, Aug. 20, 2019 at the Dagahaley Refugee Camp in Dadaab, Kenya.

Kosar’s father was also a school teacher and taught at Juba Primary School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574037055599-UBMWWM31GUG8OP3D21JJ/092219.F.WCT.RuralRefugeeKenya.1298.jpg A Rural Refugee Hamdi Kosar climbs a tree “just like I used to do” Aug. 19 at the Dagahaley Refugee Camp in Dadaab, Kenya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a4d88b05f8e21e95523c34/1574037015374-5K8JLKCPTIXXES0ZEMTY/092219.F.WCT.RuralRefugeeKenya.0738.jpg A Rural Refugee Hamdi Kosar looks out the window while driving through the marketplace Aug. 20 at the Dagahaley Refugee Camp in Dadaab, Kenya. Many refugees have their own business and sell goods at the market place within the camp. “It brings back memories,” Kosar said. http://www.ericadischino.com/full-house daily 0.75 2023-04-13
