Share your "First Day Here" story!
You are invited to share your stories of
your first day in your new country!
The first day in a new country can be full of excitement, nervousness, loss, humor, sadness, anticipation, confusion, and a mixture of many other emotions. SAADA is looking for stories from South Asian Americans about their first day in the United States.
One day can encapsulate what has come before and anticipate what will come after. SAADA's First Days Project captures poignant narratives from the lives of new immigrants through a snapshot of one day.
First Day stories will be accepted through July 31, 2013
and can be
submitted as video or audio (up to 3 minutes) or text (up to 300 words).
Submit your own story or interview a family member or friend. No story is too big or too small. We want to hear from you!
