Melissa Flemming video how to help refugees rebuild their world

section that broke up

refugee family and home destroyed by fire 7 yrs Kenya taken in by us family going to university for health American donated money open health clinic in his home town.

Americans and EuropeansThat proportionately huge numbers of refugees are coming to their country but the reality is

86 percent majority of refugees are living in the developing countries struggling with their own insecurity with their own issues and helping their own populations and poverty .

She started working with refugees because she wanted to make

A difference. Making a difference starts with telling their stories.

Fleming's point is not investing in refugees is

A huge missed opportunity leave them abandon and they risk exploitation and abuse and leave them unskilled and uneducated and delay by years the return to peace and prosperity in their countries I believe how we treat the up rooted will shape the future of our world the victims of war can hold the keys to lasting peace and its the refugees who can stop the cycle of violence honey is at a tipping point we would love to help him go to a University to become an engineer but our funds are prioritize for the basics and life tents blankets mattresses and kitchen sets food rations and a bit of medicine University is electuary but leave him to languish in this muddy field and you will become a member of a lost generation honey story is a tragedy but it doesn't have to in that way

Syrian man who survived capsized boat said Syrians are just looking for

A quiet place where nobody hurts you were nobody humiliate you and where nobody kills you Slamming things that that is the minimum and how about a place of healing learning and even opportunity

All countries should make sure that no one fleeing war or persecution

Arrives at a closed border

When she meets refugees she always

Ask them questions. Such as who bombed your house?

What she finds most worrying is that half of all Syrian refugees are. Most troubling is that only

Children. 20% Syrian refugee children are in school in Lebanon. All Syrian children tell her that education is the most important thing in their lives Because it allows them to think of their future not the nightmare of their hope versus hatred

32,000 people will be forcibly displaced

Everyday by the end of the day 1000 people will be Clean across borders fleen across the unseaworthy and overcrowded boats

War in Somalia that has been reaching on for 22 years

Fleming visited this camp in Somalia Djibouti remote helicopter Girl in the camp said she has no future my schooling days over no funding for secondary education in this camp flemming want build school waste she should be future of Somalia

50 million people uprooted in this world today Not since world war 2 have so many people been

Forcibly displaced.

We should think of refugee camps as more than just temporary

Population centers Where people languish waiting for the war to end Instead centers for excellence where refugees can triumph over their trauma and train for the day they can go home as agents of positive change and social transformation

Over 3 million Syrians are now 6.5 million people have fled for their lives

Refugees Turkey 1,029,500 Europe 118, 722 Lebanon 1,173,617 Iraq 214,372 Jordan 619, 163 North Africa 23, 367 Egypt 139,930

Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq sheMeets a beautiful young girl asked to take her picture

Refuses to smile and picture Fleming thinks that maybe she couldn't smile when he might She thinks she represents a lost generation of Syrian refugee children a generation isolated and frustrated Yet they fled utter destruction Need to be rebuilt by architects, engineers, electricians. Communities need teachers and lawyers and politicians interest it'd and reconciliation not revenge.

Refugees have a lot of time to prepare for their

Return.

Average time a refugee will spend in exile is

Seventeen years

Syrian boy refugee didn't hesitate he knew he was going to take (hany)

Syrian boy refugee took high school diploma. Because my life depended on it. He dodge snipers to get it. We're all afraid but our determination to graduate is stronger than our fear. Aunts uncles cousins refused to leave their home their throats were slit bomb sounds class mom dont go to school Hug him as if it were the last time Immediately left got in a car he hide in the back check points with soldiers Cross border into Lebanon They would find peace but grueling hardship and monotony. Built a shack on the side muddy field brother Ashraf. That put them in the largest group of refugees in the world. Lebanon tiny 4 million citizens. 1 million Syrian refugees. Not a town city or village that is not a host to Syrian refugees When she returned to do her 2nd interview with hany they did the entire interview in English which he had learned from Dan Browns novels American rap If Iam not a student I'm nothing

You might imagine that being a refugee is

Temporary state With wars going on the average time a refugee you will spend an exile is 17 years

Shouldn't this be rebuilt by Before by the people with the largest stake the

The societies in exile the refugees

We can do more than simply helping refugees survive

We can help them thrive

Wealthy countries should recognize the generosity of the countries that are

Wealthy countries should recognize the generosity of the countries that areHosting so many refugees

The most revealing question she finds is

What did you take?

Example Entire population of Germany 80 million people flee to the United States in just three years

half of population of Syria is uprooted.

Lebanon is an example of generosity and

humanity that is remarkable

Making progress in human health technology in education and design we are doing dangerously little

protect victims little to stop wars that are driving them from their homes.
