This essay is about the universal refugee experience and the hardships that they have to go through on their journey. Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and other refugees from the article “Children of War” all struggle with the unsettling feeling of being inside out because they no longer own the things that mean the most to them.

Refugee Outreach of Kalamazoo is one of the most active organizations on Western Michigan University campus as well as outside the Kalamazoo area. I thought about joining an organization since my arrival to Western michigan University, because I wanted to help the community through voluntary work around the area and I was able to find something that I was interested during the bronco bash event on campus. I attended their first meeting of the Fall and I was impressed by the ideas of the members of the organization, I also noticed that they have members who went to study abroad in Europe and they help refugees who are in refugee camps in Greece and we had the opportunity to talk to them through skype. I went home and decided to become an active

“The Borgen Project” has said that three out of four refugees live in poverty. The United States has given Syria 3 million dollars to help with aid, but this is nowhere near enough. “Public Finance International” said that 70% of refugees are living below the poverty line. This is millions of people living off government money. This percentage is growing, too. “WFP” stated in their article about refugees in poverty that many parents struggle to feed their children. With little nutrients, these families get weak and have fatigue. As a result, mental illnesses have affected the lives of many

Refugees from all over the world has been running for their lives going to refugee to refugee camps trying to find a better life, so they can be exported to the U.S. to find a better life. How many refugees are there? About 65.3 million people have been displayed in refugee homes, because something terrible has happened to their homes. As an example, Ha from the novel Inside out and back again by Thanhha Lai, is a 10 year old girl who lives in Saigon,Vietnam who has to flee her home because of terrorist has taken over her country. All refugees lives turn inside out when they all leave from their homes to become a refugee, but then it turns back again because all refugees gets useful in their life in the U.S. .

Another problem with the National Refugee Crises regards the sheer population of refugees there are the difficulty in moderating all the refugees properly.Europe According to UNHCR, there are “More than 13 million innocent people in need of humanitarian assistance” (Syria). In addition to this, nearly half of them are children. However, this number only consists of the Syrian Refugee

I believe that the UNHCR Geneva Placement is the perfect internship for me to develop a deeper understanding of how international policies and organizations influence our response to the needs of the global refugee population. The UNHCR’s Community-Based Protection Unit (CBP) is attractive for several reasons. Obviously, interning at one of the world’s most influential humanitarian organizations is exciting in itself. But more importantly, the UNHCR is my top choice for of its impactful services, capacity to challenge my macro skills to the fullest, and because I would have the opportunity to collaborate in two areas of interest; improving outcomes of community-based initiatives such as cash-based interventions; and further developing gender equality advocacy. Furthermore, I am interested in the UNHCR Placement because it seeks to serve refugees and other stateless persons, populations that I have dedicated my studies and direct practice to over the past four years.

In March of 2011, the Syrian civil war caused what is known to be one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. No one would have thought that the civil war would cause the Syrian refugee crisis to escalate to millions of people escaping the perilous conditions over the course of 4 years. For neighboring countries, this is a major concern because over 23 million of Syria's population is in dire need of help. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are risking their lives escaping from Syria and traveling to neighboring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and the United States. The United States is more than capable of funding Syrians that make their way over here, but the cap as to how many Syrians

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established to lead international action to protect refugees and solve refugee issues worldwide. 55% of all refugees come from Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Sudan, and the Syrian Arab Republic.

Activism/Philanthropy: Harrisonburg is home to one of the largest refugee populations in the nation, with seven out of every 1,000 occupants holding the status; a figure larger than some major cities, such as Washington D.C., Seattle, and San Francisco. As the debate on asylum seekers has become an increasingly polarizing and political talking point this past year, we believe that bringing in a voice directly involved with the Harrisonburg refugee community would be able to provide much needed perspective. This speaker could be an aid provider, an activist, a current refugee, or a combination, and provide insight on how to move the conversation, and future legislation, in a positive direction.

The refugee crisis led to physical problems like inadequate accommodation, lack of necessities, and comfort. In addition, Psychological problems, due to trauma that has been suffered and continuing problems with day-to-day living. According to the United Nations, approximately 2 million Syrian refugees are seeking asylum in the neighboring countries of Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon and half of those refugees are children Thousands of these children were displaced in refugee camps; some of them without their parents to comfort them from the horrors of war (a1). According to Dr. Rona, exposure to

Can you imagine having to seek sanctuary in another country? Fleeing the one and only place you call home out of simple fear, that you can’t practice your religion or because you belong in a particular social group. Well this is what refugees have to go through in order to feel safe and sound. Many people are forced into refugee center’s and they are forced to adapt into a new culture. Volunteering in a refugee center can help us recognize the importance of the refugee centers, comprehend refugee’s everyday struggles in a new country, and help us value our own country.

As a result of the war, millions have fled their country to seek asylum in neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey which is now creating a new set of problems for both the host country and the refugees.

The global refugee crisis poses significant developmental challenges across the world. When people are dislocated from their community, they are forced to abandon the life and the community they built, the businesses they have established and the social institutions supporting them. Refugees often end up in camps with no opportunity to work, run a business, educate their kids or build a meaningful life. This not only represents a waste of great economic potential but also the trampling of their human rights.

According to UNHCR (2017), there are, currently, 22.5 million of refugee in the world. Comparing to the world population reported in United Nations (2017), it can be calculated as three refugees in every 1,000 people. Nowadays, most of the people who have escaped from their own countries are Syrian. Since 2011, the beginning of Syrian civil war, total registered Syrian refugees are 17.5 million people (UNHCR, 2017). From the UNHCR database, most of them are living in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon and Turkey. Some of them seek asylum in developed countries, particularly in Europe. Germany is the European country that holds the largest Syrian refugee population, accounting for approximately 0.8 million (UNHCR, 2017). The large population of refugee can affect to economy, environment, society, and politics. Some people say that new coming refugees can fulfil labour market and establish the multicultural society which motivate international trade. However, the host nations will not benefit from refugees due to the needs of high cost of management for labour force preparation and risk of social conflict caused by cultural difference.
