Art exhibition gives refugee teens a chance to build dreams together
Roshna, Norman, Jehan, Samira, and Aisha are refugees living in Malaysia.
They have been here between four and seven years, and dream of a better life after enjoying a new beginning in Kuala Lumpur’s Fugee School, co-founded by former Miss Universe Malaysia, Deborah Henry, in 2009.
Fugeelah Handmade Jewellery by the Students from Fugee School #fugeelah
I remember asking Deborah Henry Co-Founder of Fugee School so whats next how is the school going to continue? She said - this is it - it's here - its a school offering children education we have to keep it running...
Charity is an interesting area - how many times can you rely on subscriptions, or kind hearted philanthropists and wealthy supporters travelling around handing out cash to pay the bills?
The answer is you can't - there needs to be some understanding of creating something that can pay for itself otherwise there is no growth, for the students, the people running it - this school is changing peoples lives everyday and thats a great thing but creating a school which empowers, educates and creates enterprise amongst its students to enable them to come together and create Fugeelah well that is truly the GREAT achievement here - awesome job all round.
