[Audio Transcript: "Every day, in every corner of the world, lives unfold. Some in comfort, others in crisis. Just like you, I work hard to make a living. From high-rise buildings in cities to refugee camps around the world, our struggles are similar. We all want to stay healthy. Whether visiting our doctor, or receiving care in emergency shelters. Education is a doorway to the future. Essential for us all, whether through digital screens or classrooms.
Like you, I want my home to be peaceful, filled with hope and dignity.
The voice you've been hearing? It's mine. My name is Mary Maker. I’m a refugee. But I’m also a university graduate, a public speaker, activist, and a writer. This is my reality. It could also be the reality for the 120 million forcibly displaced people. We all dream of the same things: jobs, healthcare, a home, peace. Be part of the solution."]
