Helping Hands Collaborative Activity
A refugee is someone who had to leave their country because it wasn't safe for them to stay there. They may of left because of things like war, danger, or not having enough food or water. Refugees often go to a new place where they hope to be safe and have a better life (Ward & Warren, 2020).Click here
