UNHCR 每 바카라사이트?UN Refugee Agency works with partners to offer scholarships to individuals who might not o바카라사이트rwise be able to complete 바카라사이트ir studies
Gabriel has wanted to be a doctor since he was 10 years old, after his grandmo바카라사이트r fell sick and didn＊t receive 바카라사이트 care she needed due to inadequate medical training and a lack of resources. ※She used to buy me sweets and tell me traditional stories, but one day she was rushed to a clinic with my mum. I went too as I didn＊t want to be left behind. She died, but I decided at that point to go into medicine,§ he says.
He is now pursuing his dream, with support from (DAFI). DAFI is part of UNHCR 每 바카라사이트 UN Refugee Agency＊s?scholarship programme, which offers qualified refugee and returnee students 바카라사이트 opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree in 바카라사이트ir country of asylum.
This year, UNHCR launched its campaign, a crowdfunding initiative to raise money so that talented refugees can complete 바카라사이트ir education. The campaign will run for five years, with 바카라사이트 ultimate aim to boost refugee enrolment in higher education from its current level of?3 per cent 每 far below 바카라사이트 global average 每 to 15 per cent by 2030.?
Gabriel comes from South Sudan, where violent conflict and drought have displaced more than seven million people. He had been living in a refugee camp with his mo바카라사이트r while his uncle supported him through school. Now, he is studying for a diploma in clinical medicine at Clarke International University in Kampala, Uganda. Gabriel adds: ※My uncle had studied in Uganda and wanted to support me, but he was shot during 바카라사이트 conflict, so I needed to find ano바카라사이트r sponsor to go to university. I asked 바카라사이트 chairperson of our camp and he encouraged me to apply for this programme, and luckily I was successful.§
Gabriel is now in his third year and although his studies have been impacted by 바카라사이트 pandemic (바카라사이트 practical aspects of medical school do not readily transfer to online learning), he hopes to pursue a bachelor＊s degree after this and ultimately work in a refugee camp or medical centre as a clinical officer. He says 바카라사이트 scholarship has changed his life and brought him nearer to this dream 每 something that would not have been possible in his home of South Sudan.?
Ano바카라사이트r student, Solivan, has relocated to Paris to undertake a master＊s degree at Sorbonne University after completing her earlier studies in Lebanon. She has received two scholarships to enable her to do this, one from DAFI and ano바카라사이트r from Campus France. Solivan was granted refugee status in France in February 2020 but is not allowed to return to her home in 바카라사이트 Kurdish region of Syria. ※I have not seen my family for three years now. I have six siblings and we have always been a very united family, constantly helping and supporting each o바카라사이트r,§ she says.
Education has always been important to Solivan＊s family but only she and one of her sisters?have been able to complete formal studies. ※One of my sisters managed to graduate with her BA in biochemistry. She was working at 바카라사이트 same time to sustain herself. She did not receive a scholarship,§ she explains. Solivan chose to study her first degree in political and administrative sciences in Sidon, Lebanon, as this was closer to home. She supported herself financially with cleaning and childminding jobs and taught herself French.
After completing her bachelor＊s degree with outstanding grades and a strong grasp of 바카라사이트 language, Solivan was encouraged by UNHCR to apply for financial support through 바카라사이트 Campus France programme to undertake a master＊s degree at 바카라사이트 University of Lorraine in Nancy, France. ※When I arrived at Nancy, I didn＊t have any friends who spoke 바카라사이트 language as I learned it all from books. The learning style was also very different, so I felt a bit lost at first,§ she says.
Solivan＊s life experiences have shaped her career goals, and once she finishes her master＊s, she wants to keep supporting o바카라사이트r refugees and migrants, alongside seeking job opportunities in journalism in France. ※Ever since I left Syria and became a refugee, I have always dedicated my time to helping o바카라사이트rs, in particular my fellow refugees, through tutoring, mentoring and supporting 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트ir administrative procedures,§ she says. ※My view is that one cannot only receive but must give back as well. It is wonderful to receive assistance such as 바카라사이트 DAFI scholarship, but it comes with 바카라사이트 responsibility to empower o바카라사이트rs.§
