50
million people in the world today have been forcefully displaced from
their home — a level not seen since WWII. Right now, more than 3 million
Syrian refugees are seeking shelter in neighboring countries. In
Lebanon, half of these refugees are children; only 20% are in school.
Melissa Fleming of the UN's refugee agency calls on all of us to make
sure that refugee camps are healing places where people can develop the
skills they’ll need to rebuild their hometowns.
