You must be the change you wish to see in the world

~Mahatma Gandhi~

UNHCR has launched a global campaign on World Refugee Day: ninemillion.org.

ninemillion refugee children in the world dream of a better future. This campaign is helping these children realize their dreams by improving their lives in refugee camps through education and sport. Learning and play create stronger children. Stronger children build stronger communities.

Education, play and sport in refugee camps engage children in positive activities that give them hope and provide vital life tools, which can be used to rebuild lives and regain a sense of normalcy and structure in their daily lives. Refugee boys and girls each have unique needs. Girls, in particular, play an essential role in their communities. Yet they face the harshest barriers. Full of potential, they need a chance to grow, dream, achieve and help change tomorrow.
