Children are extraordinarily resilient. By learning, playing, and exploring, they find ways to cope. And if given the opportunity, they can even thrive. That is why we UNHCR regard education as a fundamental part of refugee response. - @RefugeesChief https://t.co/uCaiAebfC1

Sediqe Hosseini wants to be an engineer and loves photography. But like most Afghan refugee students, she can't afford university fees. She dreams of a scholarship & to travel see the world with her camera. #Refugeeeducation #Iran https://t.co/Ofpsym1XAm

"Heba was one of the most vulnerable little humans I have met, but her voice is big, her story is as graphic as it is tragic, if only we give her a second, to listen and consider the message that she gave me to show you." Stirring: https://t.co/h57OcWFCMJ

@sallyhayd @Refugees UNHCR is still in Libya, deeply concerned for refugees and migrants and trying to help. @RefugeesChief tweet was to signal worry about having to withdraw if the violence further escalates. https://t.co/tvFnfszXho

So inspired to meet Zahra Ghalandari, Afghan refugee studying architecture in Iran thanks to the scholarship program, DAFI, that enables 300 refugees to attend university in Iran. Zahra's dreams? "I want to go home and reconstruct the buildings that were destroyed." https://t.co/N7aTEuW11u

I learned from them (refugees) that the decision to cross the sea to Europe was never taken lightly. It was always tortured, always heart-wrenching, & always borne of desperation & fear for the future of their children." -⁦⁦⁦@khaledhosseini⁩ https://t.co/MYH26cg7p9

Iran is one of the biggest refugee hosting countries in the world. Also one of the most progressive: all refugee children are welcome in schools & refugees have good access to healthcare & livelihoods. Yet global funding for programs & resettlement have gone down. https://t.co/PtlJQ45eFc
