Welcoming Communities for Refugees and Immigrants in Minnesota: Project Fine in Winona

Project Fine
So being a refugee is like you are just a number. But you know, pretty soon when we became a number, my husband and I, we realized that we were a lucky number because we survived the war in Bosnia.

Fatima Said is executive director of Project Fine in Winona, MN. 

The mission of Project FINE is to strengthen and enrich community by helping to integrate ethnically diverse people. Project FINE is committed to providing support and education to immigrants and refugees to benefit everyone in our community: businesses, schools and neighborhoods. It gives all of us a chance to make life better for both our families and us.

Heidi Holtan is Director of Content and Public Affairs. She manages producers/hosts and is the host of the KAXE Morning Show, including a variety of local content like Phenology, What's for Breakfast, Area Voices, The Sports Page and much more, alongside Morning Edition from NPR.
