and here is Pascal's Poem: 


Oh my home, Oh my sweet home 


You were beautiful 


Adorned with flowers 


Home of honey and milk 



But fate intervened 


You were taken away - away from me 


War did it all 


Oh, how tragic 



Misery and sorrow all over 


Violation of human rights 


Fleeing empty handed 


Like a sheep without shepherd 


Through frustrations, here I am 


JRS and UN and Malawi Government 


Gave it to me 


Bright and promising 



Decorated with new flowers 


Better schools I have 


Encouraging grades at school 


More prosperous than before 



It takes courage to be a refugee 


I will make it! 


My home was taken 


But not my future 



The UN Refugee Agency UNHCR got the Nobel Peace Prize twice: in 1954 and in 1981!
