Maher Zain
"It's really amazing to see how everything is so organized, and the help [UNHCR] is providing. I think most people think about an orangization such as UNHCR as providing clothes and blankets, but there are so many things they are supporting such as education, food. Anything you can imagine, they are supporting in all aspects."
