Angelina Jolie UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador says Don’t Forget Refugees :World Refugee Day 2010 Massage
WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2010-
World Refugee Day 2010
This year’s World Refugee Day on June 20 has as its theme, “Home,” in recognition of the plight of more than 40 million uprooted people around the world. Around 10 million of them are refugees of special concern to UNHCR.
At UNHCR we help people find new homes and new futures through resettlement, through voluntary repatriation and through local integration. Most of the time, and where it’s possible, refugees prefer to return to their home countries. Nonetheless, and with conflict continuing or escalating in many countries, finding new homes and allowing people to restart their lives is increasingly difficult.
This year, for World Refugee Day, we are planning events around the world to highlight the plight of refugees under our care and to advocate on their behalf for the help they need. We will be asking you to think about what it means to be one of those millions of individual human beings. And we will ask you to contribute in whatever way you can to helping them rebuild their lives.
Help us help them to find a place to call home.

Dear friends,
Greetings from Manila! I am Jose Rebelo, the editor of World Mission magazine. We would be interested in using the photo of Angelina Jolie (angelina_UNHCR090, used for World Refugee Day 2010 and taken during a visit to Afghan refugees) in our magazine as an illustration of love and care for the refugees. We would like to ask if you could give us permission and send us the same photo in high resolution. If you do not have it could tell us to whom shall we request the photo? WE would need it urgently as we prepare to go for printing. Thanks a lot for your collaboration!
Yours sincerely,
Jose Rebelo
