Video - Refugee Camp [A Week in West Africa - 1 of 9]

In one life-changing week in Liberia and Sierra Leone, International Rescue Committee donors Jennifer and Peter Buffett met former child soldiers, survivors of sexual violence and families driven from their homes by war. Jennifer and Peter learned how IRC staff are working to improve the lives of citizens and help them realize a more promising future.
Thanks to a partnership with the Buffetts' NoVo Foundation, the IRC looks forward to doing even more in the region. We invite you to take a video trip with them.

Jennifer and Peter visit Jembe refugee camp in Sierra Leone and meet Liberians who fled the civil war in their country.
