Visited Syrian families in Tripoli. It’s a hard life, still feeling temporary after 7 years in Lebanon. Was moved by a family staying positive, taking great care of their humble home, small touches: UNHCR plastic sheeting cut into lace & jars stocked up for the winter @Refugees https://t.co/7p4DcvHT3e

Yesterday in Tripoli, Lebanon I met 9 year old Mariam who was proud as punch of her beautiful French and Arabic homework. Hoping she will achieve her dream of becoming a teacher back in Syria someday. @Refugees https://t.co/X6afV4kyuK

Worrying start to the New Year for too many Yemeni families. Millions internally displaced, many fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their back. Nearly 18 million food insecure with 400,000 children at risk of death due to severe acute malnutrition. https://t.co/Lgqdh7XC9K

Making connections between the global refugee crisis, empathy and a growth mindset. So many needs and challenges offer so many chances for us to do more, care more. https://t.co/5y4H6kI7Vr

Who doesn't like a good cheese roll? Especially when it's borne of determination & heartfelt desire. Refugees want to stand on their own, give back, find their niche in society & the world. Given the chance & opportunities, they thrive, not just survive https://t.co/x8yA3UDfbX

22 yrs ago, I was in Tuzla as Srebrenica fell. I still carry sounds & images of wailing women w/o their men. Today I think of them,wish them some solace. I think too of Rohingya I met in Bangladesh scared w/o husbands & dads & stand #WithRefugees https://t.co/TPpv1F2qEc

@Lin_Manuel My (long)shot: might you please follow me as I wanted to share a story about how "It's Quiet Uptown" was the soundtrack to my recent work trip to the refugee camps in Bangladesh but the Twittersphere says no-go unless you follow me.
