IPYG pray the world without refugee

IPYG pray the world without refugee 

"Most of the world’s refugees – 86 per cent -- live in the developing world, compared to 70 per cent 10 years ago. Most of these countries have kept their doors open to people in search of safety, and have shown a generosity that is often well beyond their means. I appeal to all Member States and our partners in civil society to do their utmost to support the nations and communities that have welcomed the forcibly displaced into their midst.."

Ban Ki-moon

Do you know that each year on June 20th the United Nations and countless civic groups around the world celebrate World Refugee Day ?

IPYG is one of them, so I want to spread this event through the IPYG blog.

World Refugee Day happened without our being aware of it.

Our attention can make difference but it is limited to notice happened without our sight.

World Refugee Day was established by the United Nations to honor the courage, strength and determination of women, men and children who are forced to flee their homes under threat of persecution, conflict and violence.

For years, many countries and regions have been holding their own Refugee Days and even Weeks.

This year, Over twenty celebrities from around the world have released a series of 30 second videos supporting refugees as part of a coordinated campaign for this year's World Refugee Day.
