Here is a sampling of some of the words we heard while speaking to the Iraqi refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria:
"It's like a prison here."
"I have only one son and he cannot talk now"
"Just resettle me!"
"All day, we are sitting together...thinking...waiting...."
"I am sorry to not be able to offer you tea...but know in our heart, you are now family."
"Since leaving Iraq and my daughter, I have forgotten everything. We have no memory now, only sadness"
"There is no future for me. I only hope now for my children."
"Thanks for you!"
"It is normal to be scared now"
"There is no place called home now."
"We need voices. You must be those voices."
"It is normal to be scared now"
"There is no place called home now."
"We need voices. You must be those voices."
