by Imtiaz Popat As we mark World Refugee Day on June 20th, Alphonso Davies, Canadian soccer star and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador shares his story. Born in a refugee camp after his family fled conflict in Liberia. Alphonso knows what it means to be forced to start over. Because of the support his family received, and the chance to go to school, he was able to rebuild his life and pursue his dreams. Today, he is using his voice to stand up for refugee children around the world. In his words, millions of displaced children are denied access to education. Without it, their futures are put on hold. Education is more than learning. It is stability, opportunity, and hope. It helps children forced to flee regain a sense of normalcy, make friends, and imagine what is possible. |
