World Refugee Day…keeping the flame of hope alive
Share
Home has a different meaning for each and every one of us. For me home is New Orleans, and in August I understood for
the first time what it’s like to feel displaced. The sense of loss
and hopelessness was overwhelming, and yet I recognize how fortunate I was to
have the luxury of temporarily relocating and, eventually, returning.
For 20.8 million refugees around the world, returning is an
impossibility. The small glimpse I had into their daily reality changed my
conception of home, and today, on World Refugee Day, we should all take time to
recognize and honor the millions of displaced persons. Consider what it would mean to lose your home.
It’s not just a house, but a community, culture and sense of self. It’s having
the world turned upside down and working to rebuild from scratch. Yet through rebuilding,
there is hope.
The theme for this
year’s World Refugee Day, keeping the flame of hope alive, serves as “a salute to the indomitable
spirit and courage of the world’s refugees”. Their strength and resilience is
enhanced by the work of ONE’s partners, whose information you can check out on
our Partners Homepage. The work they do on the ground delivers not only
lifesaving aid in emergencies but also the tools they need to rebuild.
For more information on World Refugee Day, check out CNN and UNHCR.
