Refugees

In 1979 the Ogden in Somalia was host to nearly 1 million Oromo and other refugees who fled there from Ethiopia.

At least a quarter of a million Somalians currently live as refugees or asylum seekers in other countries - the majority of them in neighbouring countries.

These refugees have no place to sleep. They have to sleep on top of eachother

What I know about Refugees is that they don't have many food and some people's family members have died.

What it is like to be a refugee:

I have one child in secondary school and two in primary school. They were all sent away from school
For the past five years, my husband and I have managed to earn enough to pay the school fees by carrying goods for people at the market.
Then I became sick and my husband cannot earn enough to pay the fees on his own.
