Half A World Away: Refugees and why we should welcome them.

NowThis Kids

Imagine moving to a different country, not because you want to but because you have to – this episode on NowThis Kids, we’re talking about refugees.

Host Naomi Wadler talks us through the difference between an immigrant and a refugee. We speak with Mohamad Al Jounde, winner of the Children’s Peace Prize, who created a school in his refugee camp after fleeing Syria. Mohamad tells us how education not only helps us learn and grow, but also helps build community. How does someone become a refugee? Correspondent Alejandro Alba explains, and why we should welcome them with an open heart.
