We are deeply saddened by the tragic event that occurred in Beirut on Tuesday; killing hundreds and injuring thousands. We express sympathies to everyone who has been affected by the event.

It's always difficult to find something to watch. Well we've got something for you! Here's an excellent video following the excitement of a few students living at the Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi chosen for the WUSC SRP program.

3. 64% of refugees are under the age of 25 (but that age group makes up 42% of world population)

4. 3% of the global refugee population has access to post secondary education (way too low!!)
