Our young days are usually marked with sunny, warm, and bright
moments flooded with hope and joy, but uninvited guests of life such as
insecurities and uncertainties may also appear on the life journey in
unexpected and unprepared forms.
Often stumbled and shaken, ‘young’ we slog through the hardships
and challenges in our own ways and move on.
This is especially true for refugee youth.
Here are three young people who are making their ways embracing
‘who they are’ despite the challenge they have faced as refugees.
Determined to get through the huddles in their paths with resilience
and faith in themselves,
they have reshaped their identity from refugees to global citizens.
Come and join the stage where these young leaders share their stories.
Be inspired, be empowered, and be a messenger of hope yourself!
