The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is organizing various sporting events for refugees in Nepal to celebrate the first- ever participation of a refugee team in the Rio Olympics.
“As the world cheers on Team Refugees in the Olympic games, we are pleased to commemorate the spirit, strength and resilience of refugees in Nepal,” said UNHCR Representative Kevin J. Allen. “We stand with refugees as they overcome diversity and achieve victories –both on the playing field and in everyday life.”
