My Voice for the Voiceless: Anyone can become a refugee! Anyone from any country, level of education and income can become a refugee. This is the message of this educational story for the Lily4Refugees Project. We should never judge people and their life stories. Instead, we should be understanding and compassionate towards innocent people who are forced to leave their homeland for a better life and a hopeful future in dignity. We should never point our fingers at others; instead, we should look at our own actions.
