Syrian Ahmed Ahjam hands out samples at the opening of his Middle Eastern pastry shop at the Mercado Agricola in Montevideo, Uruguay, Monday, Aug. 13, 2018. He’s one of six former detainees accepted by Uruguay in 2014 after U.S. authorities decided they weren’t threats but couldn’t be sent to their homelands. Ahjam and the others have struggled to adapt to the South American country. But the former jeweler from Syria says he’s learned to make sweets with recipes from his sisters and he’s been earning money selling them at fairs and private events. (AP Photo/Matilde Campodonico)
