Too many
@refugees
children have no choice but to make the
#DesperateJourney
to find safety in Europe. We must ensure the kids that survive the dangerous sea-crossing are cared for, given safe shelter & access to school if they are to have the hope of brighter future. 🙏
A difficult choice.
A destiny changed.

I met refugees in Sicily (Italy) and heard their experiences of dangerous sea crossings which mirror my own story. A really heartwarming trip to wonderful people "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" 🙏🏼 ❤️
When UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador
@YusraMardini
met refugees in Italy, she heard their experiences of dangerous sea crossings which mirror her own story.
Yusra has written her own amazing story of resilience and hope in an autobiography:
