  • "I urge you to celebrate the extraordinary courage and contributions of refugees past and present." ~Kofi Annan
     
  • "A lasting solution, the possibility to begin a new life, is the only dignified solution for the refugee himself." ~Poul Hartling
     
  • “While every refugee's story is different and their anguish personal, they all share a common thread of uncommon courage: the courage not only to survive, but to persevere and rebuild their shattered lives." ~Antonio Guterres
