Hi, my name is Rene Erenson, executive producer of the PBS investigative series Frontline, and you're listening to our podcast series The Frontline Dispatch.

This time we're bringing you a special story in Kenya

that actually started right inside my home here in Boston with my kids who are 9 and 12.

As a journalist and mom, I was feeling frustrated with the lack of intelligent current affairs

programs that I could play for my kids.

So we decided to try something a little different, telling an important frontline quality story

that hopefully will also appeal to a younger audience.

It's a story about the global refugee crisis

that we've reported on a lot here at Frontline,

but it's told through the eyes of kids,

who by the way make up a huge percentage of the world's refugees.

This story takes place in Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, but before going there, we began by

asking American kids what they'd want to know about their peers

living far away and did a job. The producer is Bianca Gaver. The Frontline

Dispatch is made possible by the Abrams Foundation Journalism Initiative,
