World Refugee Day
Gong for World Refugee Day
On World Refugee Day, Stichting Vluchteling (Refugee foundation) opens the Euronext Amsterdam exchange with a sounding of the gong.
Stichting Vluchteling is an emergency aid organization that provides assistance to refugees and displaced persons around the world. In case of acute emergency they offer life-saving emergency aid, such as shelter, medical care, food and clean drinking water. But people can also count on the foundation for long-term humanitarian crises, for example for education and psychosocial support for the treatment of traumatic experiences.
In 2001 the United Nations proclaimed June 20 the World Refugee Day. Worldwide there is then attention for the fate of refugees.
