The Children
A school in the refugee camp
Why don’t refugees go back if it’s so bad?
They have no home there anymore.
Their countries aren’t secure enough to guarantee them safety.
They have no way to provide for them or their families

“For every 1,000 afghan children born 165 die within a year.”
“a quarter of all afghan children die before their 5th birthday”

What is Being done?UNHCR and USCRI Are two
Organizations that help refugees and provide information on the status of refugee camps.
Many countries are taking refugees into their boarders and attempt to settle them there(USCRI)
What is Being done?The Red cross has
donated $100,000s of dollars.
The US government gave $100,000 to refugee camps in 2007
What Could be Done?
If government ever really wants to get rid of terrorism, they could. All it would take is:
Remove any "law" that makes self defense punishable on the ground or in the air!
Remove "laws" regulating ownership and carrying of weapons
Stop meddling with other countries and stop molesting and killing people in other lands.
Abide by the very clear language and intent of the entire Bill of Rights.
What could we do?Contact your state
representatives in congress and urge them to give more aid.
Donate to the many charity programs that are dedicated to helping refugees
