#RefugeeWeek2018 here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’. pic.twitter.com/q1bvUdGbQT -
A refugee is a mother or father, a sister or brother, a son or daughter. A refugee is a journalist, greengrocer, nurse, teacher, artist... A refugee has hopes and dreams, fears and anxieties. A refugee is a person not a statistic. Choose love not hate.
