World Refugee Day 2007 National Activities: Congo, Republic of

20 June 2007

Refugee children wash their families' clothes in Djabal camp. Many children are overwhelmed with daily chores and as a result attend school only sporadically.

An "Olympiades de l'Espoir" was organized in the north-eastern town of Impfondo, which lies alongside the Oubangui River. Refugees and aid workers took part in a football match, while others enjoyed drawing and poetry contests. A lottery was held.
