World Refugee Day

Today is World Refugee Day
What is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.

"We have not got the room" "They take our jobs" etc. If we had refused to take the refugees from the Russian pogroms and the Nazi's just think how much poorer this country would have been. And that is only one example of many ways "refugees" have benefited our country
