Inclusion can can happen through bees & honey. For Juan it means they can thrive after having to leave everything behind due to violence. At least 71,500 people like Juan are internally displaced in #ElSalvador, many targeted for being young @Refugees/ Daniel Dreifuss https://t.co/6kfACUY2Z5

Living in the midst of escalating and chronic violence, tens of thousands of people from Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua have been forced to flee. This is what eight of them say in their letter back home: despair and fear, but also hope and dreams. W❤️ #FromCentralAmerica https://t.co/ypKmEVzk6h
