| Title | Background Information about Refugees from Other Countries |
| Body | From http://www.cal.org/co/publications The Cultural Orientation Resource Center develops informational and resource materials for refugees, service providers, and anyone interested in learning more about refugee communities in the United States. In addition to other services, they publish culture profiles and phrasebooks designed to build cultural and linguistic understanding between newly arrived refugees and their receiving communities. Culture Profiles provide short introductions to the cultural background of refugee populations. Each one contains a basic introduction to the people, history, and culture of the group concerned and includes topics such as history, geography, economy, social structure, gender roles, language and literacy, education, religion, art and song, food and dress, festivities, names, and features of the language. Recent publications include the following, all available for download online: -Refugees from Burma: Their Backgrounds and Refugee Experiences -Refugee Backgrounder No. 4: Bhutanese Refugees in Nepal To view all available cultural profiles publications, go to http://www.cal.org/co/publications/profiles.html .
