"Though we're at home, life isn't easy. But through life’s hardships, the best lesson I've learned is that a positive mindset is the most important to live happily. My message for #RefugeeDay is to think positive and be joyful. Positivity is the greatest gift we give ourselves!" https://t.co/qOphTFcthI

"After fleeing civil war in Afghanistan, my dream is for a world where the need for refugee resettlement doesn't exist, because people aren’t forcibly displaced in the first place. Anyone can be a #refugee." #WorldRefugeeDay https://t.co/PQCKrABtBm

"I’m so happy that I can study side by side with Iranian students. People no longer say, ‘Oh, you’re an ‘Afghan.’ My favourite subject is maths, because maths is everywhere in the world. I love multiplication and division – they are really easy." https://t.co/kB8jXbVACW

"In Myanmar, I never went to school. It was my dream to be able to write my name in English. The first day I was at school, I didn’t speak a word of it. Now, as a fresh high school graduate, I not only can write my name, but I also give a voice to my ppl, the Rohingya community." https://t.co/iK4hUa1q37
