Discuss Your Impressions of Yesterday's Refugee Assembly

I thought that yesterday's assembly was very saddening. I think that having to hear the stories of their life first hand makes it more powerful then any written work. Allowing them to explain their story in their own way and hearing the emotion in their voice makes it really depressing. However it is at the same time inspiring. To hear that the hope didn't break during the course of years. Leaving loved ones, not knowing if they would ever see them again. And having to leave the place they called home just to escape their fears. It was also inspiring to see the works of people. Constructing schools and other facilities because refugees aren't allowed to go to school without the right permits.
