With financial support from UNHCR, the Jesuit Refugee Service plans to organise an exhibition of artworks by unaccompanied refugee youth. The project is supposed to be a process to help refugee children to deal with their trauma from past experiences and to guide them in articulating their hopes and aspirations for the future.
