Bestselling author and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Khaled Hosseini visited Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan this week to meet with Syrian refugees fleeing the conflict. As the conflict enters its fifth year, the situation is getting more desperate for Syrians, some of whom will risk everything and cross dangerous waters to find safety in Europe. Hosseini met with a group of youth whose main aspiration was to continue their higher education but were unable to do so due to lack of financial means and access to institutions, most know a relative or a friend who crossed the seas to Europe. But despite their tough life young people were still able to be creative in arts, music and literature inside the camp. This is Hosseini's second visit to the region. In 2014 he visited Syrian refugee camps in northern Iraq.
