PRI's The World: 12/17/2015

Million of Syrians have faced this decision since their country's civil war began: to stay and risk being killed in the war, or go and risk everything to try and start a new life elsewhere. Today, we hear about one Syrian family now trying to start over in Germany, and a Syrian man determined to keep his family in war-torn Aleppo. Also, Marco Werman continues our series on women in Kenya who run their own businesses. Today, Marco has the story of a woman who teaches power yoga classes in Nairobi, both to the city's elites and to some of the city's poorest residents. Plus, we hear what it took for an observant Sikh man to serve in the US Army — once he convinced his superiors to allow his untrimmed hair and beard.
