“A Place to Call Home”
World Refugee Day June 2004
Angelina Jolie’s message to the world

World Refugee Day this year focuses on home – what it is to have a home. These people have lost their home. We’re in Chad they are from Darfur and Sudan. Mostly they are all mothers and children because their older sons and their husbands have been attacked and killed. They escaped the bombing and they ran here to UNHCR to an area where they can ask for some assistance some help and UNHCR and its partners is doing what it can. But really at the end of the day it is the strength of these people and their resilience and their ability to somehow continue on after all they have gone through and hopefully one day they will find home again – and this will not be the end of their, their journey. So for your strength and your survival, to everybody that has been a refugee or is a refugee now, I admire you, and happy Refugee Day.
