John, what did you want to be when you were a kid?

Dear John,

To celebrate World Children’s Day earlier this month, we thought we’d hand over to 10-year-old Moises, to show you what life in a temporary shelter is like through the eyes of a child. Join Moises as he seeks out stories from others like him who’ve fled their homes in Venezuela to the safety of Brazil, and hear his message of hope.

We’ve also got a real feast for the senses for you, as we travel to Peru to meet a very special orchestra and sample some of the culinary delights from Syria and Iraq.

 
 

Moises’ special message to the world

Moises’ special message to the world

10-year-old Moises is always on the lookout for a good story. Armed with a plastic mic and a cardboard camera, he’s perfecting his journalistic skills by interviewing fellow Venezuelans about their journeys to Brazil.

 
 
A perfect symphony!

A perfect symphony!

This orchestra in Lima is one-of-a-kind. It is made up of Peruvians and Venezuelan refugees and migrants, blending their skills, knowledge and musical traditions. When they play together, nobody sees refugees or migrants, just musicians.

A taste of home

A taste of home

Mohammad’s restaurant in Bardarash camp, Iraq is proving very popular, and we’re not surprised! After fleeing Syria when his own restaurant was damaged during recent violence, he’s giving fellow refugees a taste of home by serving up delicious falafels.

 
 
There's always time to play!
Next stop:Sweden!
 
 

Thank you for your interest in our work and supporting refugees. With more people like you on board, we can help ensure that every person gets closer to finding independence and happiness as they build new lives far from home.
