Why did you leave your native country?
Why are you living in the US?
Will you ever go back? And if so under what conditions?
These are all questions we ask ourselves on a regular basis and for some of us it has become a critical issue to resolve.
Being transplanted in foreign “soil” does not agree with all of us and even though sunshine, food, shelter and opportunity abound around us we have a hard time to keep our roots growing in this new soil.
This study will begin with personal interviews on 11/17/02 and continue with online questionnaires and some more personal interviews towards the end of 2002.
Our findings will be published online, not as a final result, but rather as a source of information and inspiration for those struggling with this life decision.
We will try to produce guidelines for those wishing to stay as to how to build support and communication infrastructures and worksheets for those wishing to leave to detail the steps, risks and costs involved.
Thank you for your interest and participation in this study.
Regards,
Ruan Wannenburg.
