Bayu Sutarjono
Ottawa was once home, until I grew up to stand on my own
Toronto was once home, in the pursuit of knowledge at the University of Toronto
But then I found people who had to flee their homes, running to borders with Doctors Without Borders, to give them a safe place to call home
Inspired, I chose Saba University School of Medicine to be my home while I became a doctor
Now I call Brookdale my home. Family. Neighbors. Strangers. Brooklyn, we welcome you.
