Youth

Jocelyn family

Joceyln (bottom row, middle), her father, and five siblings in front of their home in New Jersey.

When 50 people, 30 of them children, leave Newark, NJ at 6:30 in the morning on a bus to Washington DC, there must be a good reason.

Somali refugee youth work on creative projects

Somalia refugee youth work on AFSC-sponsored creative projects at Dadaab Refugee Camp in northeast Kenya.

During the commemoration of the World Refuge Day, some Somali and Ethiopian youth were sponsored by AFSC to exhibit pieces of their photography, creative projects and cultural dances in Nairobi. The groups travelled long distances from Daadab refugee camp and from the Ogaden region of Ethiopia to share in Kenya’s capital, a regional hub.
