World Refugee Day

Today is the day that the UNHCR made. (UN High Commissioner for Refugees)

They have won a Nobel Peace Prize twice(!) so maybe we should pay attention. I have spent the last semester and some time in South Africa working with refugees. Every story is unique and almost all of them are heart wrenching. If you want to understand more. Look here or here or ask. I really like these, too.

Not so related, but often lumped together is the human rights of immigrants. This organizations free materials on teaching tolerance are well worth a look.

Embrace the diversity in your community today.
