"I have nothing at all from Myanmar, nothing. At six, I was put in the arms of a man who promised my parents to bring me safely to Malaysia. I have not heard from my family since. I don’t even have memories of my mother’s face. My life now is my children. This is all I have." https://t.co/fKMpYkV3mS

"I started sewing masks round the clock. I'm so happy to use my skills to help people and to give back to my community. Life without a mask is unimaginable now. Can you believe that my friends and I have stitched nearly 900 masks? I am proud of what we're doing." #WorldRefugeeDay https://t.co/GUM3z2SB8U

"Be responsible. If you get something started, do not stop and believe in yourself. I had a hard time, I did not know what I was getting into. But now I enjoy my job, and no matter what time it is, I always go to work with a smile on my face." #WorldRefugeeDay https://t.co/C0qQF7F1Uw

"I had an accident when I was 7 & injured my eye. Soon my eye started to shrink. Here in the camp, no one laughs at my condition. There are many people with disabilities; they understand. We all have one thing in common, we suffer from the awful consequences of war." #RefugeeDay https://t.co/V0nvHVRcyK

"I wish people could understand that they would make the same decisions that we did. They would try their hardest to find and secure a safe haven for their families. They too would escape in the night and tread horrors to live without fear. Anyone can be a #refugee." – @AlFadak https://t.co/v0NRaaI9FL

"I've seen desperation; I was in immigration detention for nearly 5 years. I told my fellow #refugees that we should make the best use of our time for ourselves and others. I read 100 books and volunteered to teach English to 80 refugee friends per day for 8-9 hours." #RefugeeDay https://t.co/3u3Soyk3nk

"No family should go hungry. I started a catering project after attending a UNHCR livelihoods course. With my income, I also buy groceries to sell cheap to other Afghan families. If they have no money, I say, just take. Food is more than sustenance. It’s how I help my community." https://t.co/6gNySHM2ts

"I am the father of five children, and I work as a night guard in one of the offices in the camps. I am also a first responder for emergencies in the camps, especially during monsoon season. When everybody sleeps, I make sure of their safety." #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugees 1/2 https://t.co/xHMrQgG8NU
