Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PODCAST - Learning as a ‘child of war:’ Refugee children's struggle for education
Q: What are some of the initiative that UNHCR is undertaking to support and empower young refugee learners?
Barham Salih describes community schools taught by refugee teachers and the DAFI scholarship program, which supports refugees studying in host countries. He calls for expanding DAFI and shares examples of scholarship recipients who have pursued business, medicine and technology.
PODCAST - Learning as a ‘child of war:’ Refugee children's struggle for education
Q: What would you say are the barriers for refugees to access education, including high education and employment opportunities, and what must be done to overcome those obstacles?
Mary Maker describes overcrowded schools, inadequate learning materials, barriers to travel and scholarships, hidden costs, limited access to loans, and difficulties finding work. She says leaders must recognize these obstacles and remove them.
Kenya: First group of Ebola contacts ‘graduating’ from quarantine
Q: Can you tell us about that if you're able to, to give us that information?
There is no vaccine specific to the Bundibugyo virus. WHO recommended using the Ebola Zaire vaccine to provide some cross-protection to health workers, with an initial request for about 10,000 doses being considered.
Kenya: First group of Ebola contacts ‘graduating’ from quarantine
Q: What can you tell us about this, and what is WHO's response?
Quarantine release is based on the 21-day monitoring period, the date of each person's last exposure, and a risk assessment. The first group was expected to leave on Sunday, while others could remain longer.
As sea levels rise New York plans for ‘greater impacts to life and infrastructure’
Q: What lessons can other global cities like New York learn from your experience here?
Coastal resilience plans should address technical requirements while involving communities and respecting their connection to waterfronts, parks and public spaces.
