A displaced woman at a Damascus community centre run by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate learns painting skills that will help her fix her house when she returns home - and be employed by others for the same purpose. Empowering people is often done in humble but useful ways. https://t.co/vK7ujXKUMO

Meeting at Jordanian @PrimeMinistry with PM Al-Razzazz, @AymanHsafadi @mary_kawar: in spite of many challenges Jordan remains a hospitable country for Syrian+other refugees. Donors must stay the course in supporting Jordan! https://t.co/RynuX0ueCM

Honoured to be received by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. We discussed the need to work on durable solutions for Syrian refugees and to ensure continued support for countries hosting them. @RHCJO https://t.co/EySPluWwLl

Good that everybody has been disembarked from the “Diciotti” but unless states do not put in place predictable arrangements to share responsibility for arriving refugees+migrants, this situation will happen again. We stand ready to help. https://t.co/XuFWM2Vkor

Remembering @SenJohnMcCain, who among many other things was also an advocate for refugees. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/KZBeqMscPV

Cooking skills: something refugees can carry with them, and which can make them productive members of hosting communities. Read about refugee chefs in America. https://t.co/eZfDbYh17q @voguemagazine

The situation of refugees and migrants on the “Diciotti” in Catania offends international principles and values. I appeal - strongly - to Italy and the EU to allow disembarkation and make it a collective European effort. https://t.co/Mj7vpuQtYe

Many refugees fleeing violence and war find support and protection in Northern Ireland, where a difficult history has forged a strong, innovative civil society. I met its representatives today. It was inspiring. @LawCentreNI https://t.co/RcocbLpYBW

In Belfast today: peace takes patience, persistence, compromise and courage. It is never perfect. And it takes a long time. https://t.co/77j1RyhUIx
