Refugee Camp

Filsan

As I see, the refuge is a wonder because you see many people who stay in there and their country has peace but is without education. For example I came from Somali, especially the Marka district. The reason that I came to the refugee camp is education. For example, there are many agencies which help the refugee people with education, food, houses, whatever and etc. as you see the number of people who are arriving here is increasing day after day. The reason is what I have mentioned here, so the refugee is the best place for refugee people.
