Back to School For Darfur Refugee Children - Photos
27 Aug 2007 - As the Darfur crisis enters its fifth year, more than two million people remain uprooted, including hundreds of thousands of school age children.
In Darfur and neighboring Chad, the International Rescue Committee offers programs that provide critical learning, healing and recreation for more than 30,000 young people who have been forced to flee their villages.
At one refugee camp managed by the IRC in northeastern Chad, Oure Cassoni, children are eager to begin their new school term. The IRC’s Melissa Winkler recently spent time with students and teachers at the camp and shared images in a new photo essay on the IRC Web site.
