Today is World Refugee Day

June 20 was established as World Refugee day by the United Nations General Assembly as a way to commemorate the courage and triumphs of refugees. It is a day to honor refugees living safe, meaningful lives in our communities and celebrate their contributions to the world.
However, it is important to remember the 8 million refugees who are denied the right to work, the freedom to move, and lead normal lives. Every day is a struggle. And they all need your help.This June 20, support refugees and give them the right to lead normal lives in exile.
