"For me, having beautiful nails made me happy, and that’s the reason why I took an interest in becoming a nail technician. I am happy to pursue my career with the job I love. Now that I can do something I love, I want my children to have that dream, too." #WorldRefugeeDay https://t.co/bg9RR8AGQr

"My children are the ones who bring me joy. When I see their eyes, I forget my worries and stress. When I see their smiles and laughs, I thank God that they have forgotten the fear I used to see in them while hearing the bombings, shootings & airstrikes, back in our country." https://t.co/cLIw5lToMn

"I find happiness in my opportunity to spread a message of hope for all #refugees... To share that their struggle is my struggle, and to share that refugees have the ability to be whatever they dream of as long as their faith is stronger than their fear." – @ASultanifitness https://t.co/YcRm9cTze5

"I’ve been a refugee all my life, in Iran and now in Malaysia. I am a tailor. Now I work with an NGO making PPE for frontliners. I earn a salary, but I’d do this for free. I want to give back to Malaysia which gave me so much kindness. I dream of finding home. I want to belong." https://t.co/GyhwTG4P3k

"I went back to my village for the first time in 8 years. The silence was deafening. I wondered if there were landmines. At first, I was reluctant to enter my house. I felt a terrible sadness. Only old clothes, too damaged to be stolen, remained. For now, the IDP camp is home." https://t.co/F1WHi41EbZ

"When fighting broke out again in 2011 & we heard gunfire, my daughter-in-law was 6 months pregnant. She hastily packed a few clothes, took my hand & we fled. I carried my grandson who was 20 months old while my daughter-in-law carried a bamboo basket & the rice pot." #RefugeeDay https://t.co/EomtlRZYzQ

"I sleep in the new rooms. I also sit with my brothers and sister and we play dolls together. Before, we had an old shed here, made of wood and mud. It was small and dark." #WorldRefugeeDay https://t.co/82iGSkTO2s
