Description
Summary:Every day, somewhere in the world, children become refugees. They flee their countries because their lives are in danger and they remain at risk. However, refugee children usually do not understand the reasons… they just feel the fear and run. They take with them only a few things which they can carry. Often there is no room for their most precious possessions and there is no time to gather them. Sometimes refugee children escape with only their dreams and their hopes for the future. This brochure deals with issues facing refugee children and is designed for young readers. It highlights specific issues such as health and education, and tells the stories of several refugee children from Afghanistan, Colombia, Sudan and Bosnia.
