@UNVolunteers @RefugeesAfrica In #Tanzania🇹🇿, thousands of #refugees are rebuilding their lives far from home.

As UN Volunteers with @UNHCRTanzania, Primrose & Patrick have been right there with them.

Different paths.

One belief: no one should walk alone.

#WorldRefugeeDay

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

The world doesn’t need more fences.

It needs more open hands. More open doors.

And more open hearts.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour ordinary people who stand #WithRefugees every day, providing them hope away from their homes.

[UN Volunteers @UNVolunteers]

Sometimes, just being HUMAN is enough. Seems simple, right?

When a woman sat outside @UNHCRSom 🇸🇴 for days, holding her child, hungry, exhausted & silent, volunteer Urvashi sat with her not to fix everything, but to listen.

No grand gestures, just solidarity.

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

Today, 1 in 67 people is forcibly displaced.

Fleeing is a hard choice. Helping isn’t.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, we stand with #refugees — and the #volunteers who never leave their side.

What is the essence of #volunteerism?

Evaristus Ngoran, a Cameroonian national serving with @UNHumanRights in Rwanda as Human Rights Specialist, puts it so well.

'..it is about the willingness to step forward,' he says.
