Refugees are people who have been forced to flee their native country due to persecution, conflict or violence. Most of the time, these people have no choice but to abandon their familiar surroundings and loved ones in order to begin a new life in a different country.
Many difficulties arise for refugees once they reach their destination country and begin the process of assimilating into the local society. Language barriers, cultural adjustments and the search for suitable job are all examples of such difficulties.
Despite these difficulties, refugees can enrich their new communities by contributing their extensive education, work experience and other abilities.
