World Refugee Day, a United Nations initiative that began in 2001, celebrates the lives and contributions of refugees around the world. The international theme for World Refugee Day 2010 is:

Home: "They have taken my home but they can't take my future"

The Idaho Office for Refugees, in partnership with the International Rescue Committee, World Relief, Agency for New Americans, and the English Language Center, is hosting a day of activities to celebrate our local refugee community and raise awareness of international struggle for safety and freedom. Arts and performance activities are used to deliver these positive educational messages and to help counter fear and ignorance.

Help us get the word out to local refugee artisits and to agencies who support refugees in our community!
