<p>“When Abass Mohamed '09 urged the Senate Appropriations Committee to send more food aid to refugee camps yesterday, he spoke not only as a concerned student, but also as a former Somalian refugee.</p>

<p>“Mohamed is "well known all over Kenya because he was such a spectacular success," WFP spokeswoman Jennifer Parmelee '80 said yesterday just after leaving the hearing.</p>

<p>“A staffer in the subcommittee office said members first learned about Mohamed while on a fact-finding mission to Africa in October. "We were told about Abass ... about how he had a full scholarship to Princeton," she said. "As we were planning our hearing, we thought he would be a good person to testify." </p>
