A warm welcome to the new UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Kristin Davis!
The actress and philanthropist started her journey with the UN Refugee Agency three years ago by travelling to Northern Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meeting South Sudanese refugees and hearing their stories.
Moved by refugee accounts, Davis wrote about her trip. “Despite losing so much, despite having their lives re-set to zero, they still want to achieve – for their families, for their community, for their country. It seems to me that the very least that each one of us can give to refugees across the world – but particularly those in our own schools, in our own communities, in our own countries – is the promise of honouring these words: ‘You are welcome here. You are safe now. We are here to help you.”
