There are currently 25.4 million people with refugee status globally. This number does not count the 3.1 million asylum-seekers or the over 40 million internally displaced people in the world. All together, that is 68.5 million people in the world forced from their homes, according to the UN Refugee Agency .
Many are in camps, surrounded by wire fences, unwanted by the country they have fled to, and treated as prisoners, unable to create a new life, yet unable to return to their homes and loved ones. Try to remember that many of us live in countries that have suffered large scale exodus due to war, and or, political strife. Our past generations settled in new lands, and in general, were treated far more humanely than we are currently treating these people. If this is progress, then the future looks bleak.

The photo in the image, is of my mother. During WW2, she, like most children in Liverpool, was evacuated to Wales, until the conflict was over. They were embraced by the Welsh community, and cared for as if they were their own. These children. left their homes and loved ones, never knowing if they would see them again. Fortunately, in most cases, they did, but their situation is comparable to that of these poor people now, The difference, is that they struggle to find a community that will welcome them.
