The UN refugee agency this week started distributing an educational kit to inform teenagers in Europe on the plight of refugee youth in Africa. The kit, "Young African Refugees: Building the Future", includes a teacher’s guide and a video, with personal stories highlighting challenges faced by refugee youth. Addressing some 600 students gathered in Brussels from across the European Union, High Commissioner Ruud Lubbers said, "There is a strong need for solidarity, in order to help find a new life for young refugees. But the reality is that solidarity is not there."
