Blerim Maloku, a teenage refugee from Kosovo, swats the correct answer to a vocabulary game played with a flyswatter and blackboard during an English as a Second Language class run by the Phillips Brooks House Association as part of its Refugee Youth Summer Enrichment program. Life is still unsettled for many of the 20-odd Kosovars participating in the program, with some returning to their homeland and others resettling here.
