World Refugee Day seeks to call attention to the plight of millions of refugees around the world with its theme, “Real People, Real Needs.” More than 250,000 people have been displaced by the ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan. Children make up more than 60 percent of the population in the Darfuri refugee camps and are facing major educational challenges, including a shortage of qualified teachers, poorly built school buildings, and lack of supplies. 聯合國在「世界難民日」以「Real People,Real Needs」為主題來吸引人們對全世界數以 百萬計的難民的關注，蘇丹的Darfur有超過25萬人因為打不完的戰爭被迫離開家園。 Darfur難民營裡有超過60%的小孩，他們正面臨教育大危機，包括教師短缺、沒有學校、沒 生活用品等。 McGrady’s donation will support the Ocampo School in Djabal camp, located in southeastern Chad, near the border with Darfur. Ocampo School is one of 12 refugee camp schools that the Darfur Dream Team aims to support in the 2009-2010 school year, at a cost of $57,000 per school.
