Refugee Woman
This past year I spent a lot of time photographing the Global Education Movement's inspiring new higher education programs. This young woman, who is just beginning the program, came to the a remote refugee camp in Northern Kenya from Somalia as a child without her parents in the care of family friends. She has not seen her family since and expressed to me her wonder and excitement about beginning the degree program.
While she is one of the lucky ones, her story is just one of the almost 200,000 in the camp and one of over 25 million refugees worldwide. My hope is that stories like hers and programs like these inspire others to open doors to refugees rather than build walls.
