QUOTES

I wanted in my own way to contribute, to add a stone to the structure. I truly wanted to do some good. I have had the good fortune to live thanks to music, to have been born in a rich country. Getting involved with UNHCR is a way for me to give back some of what life has offered me."

At (UNHCR's) headquarters, I met extraordinary people, men and women, especially from the emergency team, who shared with me their passion, their dedication and their commitment to this organisation and refugees. They told me about the daily difficulties they have to face and also the joy they felt when they managed to save a person whose life was threatened."

"Despite very harsh living conditions and the trauma of what they went through, they [Sudanese refugees] had a lot of dignity"
