Refugee Road: Experience the Journey of a Refugee

Description

Join one of the world’s leading humanitarian organizations, Oxfam, and TripAdvisor on Tuesday, November 28 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the TripAdvisor Headquarters in Needham, MA for Refugee Road – an interactive experience that provides insights into what life is like for Syrian people. To date, the violence in Syria has forced more than 11 million people to flee their homes. Even with the extensive coverage of this conflict in the news, it is hard for most of us to fully understand the hardships people affected by this crisis must endure. That is why Oxfam developed Refugee Road, to help others better understand the crisis and how to get involved. As part of the event, Oxfam humanitarian experts will share the latest developments surrounding the crisis, including the impact of the recent U.S. Government decisions and what you can do to help. Friends and family are welcome to join and registration is required as space is limited. RSVP by registering at www.refugeeroad.info. TripAdvisor is hosting this event as part of its commitment of $5 million through 2018 from the TripAdvisor Charitable Foundation to aid the global refugee crisis. TripAdvisor Charitable Foundation is currently supporting the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps and additional NGOs focused on refugee resettlement and aid.
