Hamed Wardak & World Refugee Day
Each year on World Refugee Day, USA for UNHCR raises awareness by bringing together important supporters of refugee relief. This year, the events were held from June 18th-20th with the theme “Home” and included former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, NPR senior news analyst Daniel Schorr, former refugees and UNHCR field staff.
World Refugee Day will enable refugees to find new homes and new futures by helping them to resettle, repatriate and integrate back into society.
Hamed Wardak explained, “The work and support provided by UNHCR is essential to refugees in Afghanistan and worldwide. I continue to sponsor UNHCR’s events like World Refugee Day and get involved in their work because the refugee women, who are the most disadvantaged group in Afghanistan, need our help.”
