50 miliona ljudi u svetu danas je silom izmešteno iz svog doma - nivo koji nije viđen od Drugog svetskog rata. Upravo u ovom trenutku, više od 3 miliona sirijskih izbeglica traga za utočištem u susednim zemljama. U Libanu, polovina ovih izbeglica su deca; samo 20% ide u školu. Melisa Fleming iz izbegličke organizacije UN-a poziva nas da se pobrinemo da izbeglički kampovi budu isceljujuća mesta gde ljudi mogu razviti svoje veštine, koje će im biti potrebne kako bi ponovo izgradili svoje rodne gradove.

Počela sam da radim sa izbeglicama
00:12
So I started working
0
812
1637
00:14
with refugees because I wanted
1
2449
1884
jer sam želela da donesem promenu,
00:16
to make a difference,
2
4333
2340
a donošenje promena počinje
pričanjem njihovih priča.
pričanjem njihovih priča.
00:18
and making a difference starts
3
6673
1407
00:20
with telling their stories.
4
8080
2356
Kada se sretnem sa izbeglicama,
00:22
So when I meet refugees,
5
10436
1490
00:23
I always ask them questions.
6
11926
2800
uvek im postavljam pitanja.
Ko je bombardovao vašu kuću?
00:26
Who bombed your house?
7
14726
2318
00:29
Who killed your son?
8
17044
2653
Ko je ubio vašeg sina?
Da li je ostatak vaše porodice preživeo?
00:31
Did the rest of your family make it out alive?
9
19697
4044
00:35
How are you coping
10
23741
1986
Kako se snalazite
u vašem životu u izgnanstvu?
00:37
in your life in exile?
11
25727
2531
Ali postoji jedno pitanje
za koje mi se uvek čini
za koje mi se uvek čini
00:40
But there's one question that always seems to me
12
28258
3003
da najviše otkriva, a to je:
00:43
to be most revealing, and that is:
13
31261
2464
00:45
What did you take?
14
33725
2182
"Šta ste poneli sa sobom?
00:47
What was that most important thing
15
35907
2250
Šta je bila ta najvažnija stvar
00:50
that you had to take with you
16
38157
2072
koju ste morali da ponesete sa sobom
kada su bombe eksplodirale
u vašem gradu,
u vašem gradu,
00:52
when the bombs were exploding in your town,
17
40229
3406
00:55
and the armed gangs were approaching your house?
18
43635
4425
a naoružane grupe
se približavale vašoj kući?"
se približavale vašoj kući?"
Sirijski dečak izbeglica kojeg poznajem
01:00
A Syrian refugee boy I know
19
48060
2605
rekao mi je da nije oklevao
01:02
told me that he didn't hesitate
20
50665
2690
kada je njegov život
bio u neposrednoj opasnosti.
bio u neposrednoj opasnosti.
01:05
when his life was in imminent danger.
21
53355
3790
Uzeo je svoju diplomu srednje škole,
01:09
He took his high school diploma,
22
57145
2981
i kasnije mi je rekao zašto.
01:12
and later he told me why.
23
60126
1929
01:14
He said, "I took my high school diploma
24
62055
3208
Rekao je: "Uzeo sam
moju diplomu srednje škole
moju diplomu srednje škole
jer je moj život zavisio od nje."
01:17
because my life depended on it."
25
65263
3206
I rizikovao bi svoj život
da uzme tu diplomu.
da uzme tu diplomu.
01:20
And he would risk his life to get that diploma.
26
68469
3229
01:23
On his way to school, he would dodge snipers.
27
71698
3682
Na putu za školu,
izbegavao bi snajperiste.
izbegavao bi snajperiste.
Njegova učionica se ponekad tresla
01:27
His classroom sometimes shook
28
75380
2515
01:29
with the sound of bombs and shelling,
29
77895
3234
od zvukova bombi i granata,
01:33
and his mother told me,
30
81129
2807
i njegova majka mi je rekla:
"Svakoga dana,
rekla bih mu svakoga jutra:
rekla bih mu svakoga jutra:
01:35
"Every day, I would say to him every morning,
31
83936
3069
01:39
'Honey, please don't go to school.'"
32
87005
2926
'Dušo, molim te, ne idi u školu.'"
01:41
And when he insisted, she said,
33
89931
3459
A kada je insistirao, rekla je:
"Zagrlila bih ga kao da je poslednji put."
01:45
"I would hug him as if it were for the last time."
34
93390
3972
01:49
But he said to his mother,
35
97362
2030
Ali rekao je svojoj majci:
"Svi smo mi uplašeni,
01:51
"We're all afraid,
36
99392
1845
01:53
but our determination to graduate
37
101237
2891
ali naša rešenost da diplomiramo
01:56
is stronger than our fear."
38
104128
3334
je jača od našeg straha."
01:59
But one day, the family got terrible news.
39
107462
3336
Ali jednog dana,
porodica je dobila užasne vesti.
porodica je dobila užasne vesti.
02:02
Hany's aunt, his uncle and his cousin
40
110798
2734
Hanijeva tetka, njegov teča i njegov rođak
02:05
were murdered in their homes for refusing
41
113532
2689
su ubijeni u svojim domovima jer su odbili
da napuste svoju kuću.
02:08
to leave their house.
42
116221
994
02:09
Their throats were slit.
43
117215
2865
Njihovi vratovi su presečeni.
02:12
It was time to flee.
44
120080
2631
Bilo je vreme da se beži.
02:14
They left that day, right away, in their car,
45
122711
3014
Otišli su tog dana,
odmah, u svojim kolima,
odmah, u svojim kolima,
sa Hanijem sakrivenim pozadi
jer su se suočavali
jer su se suočavali
02:17
Hany hidden in the back because they were facing
46
125725
1861
02:19
checkpoints of menacing soldiers.
47
127586
3910
sa kontrolnim punktovima
pretećih vojnika.
pretećih vojnika.
02:23
And they would cross the border into Lebanon,
48
131496
3712
Prešli bi granicu sa Libanom,
gde bi pronašli mir.
02:27
where they would find peace.
49
135208
2696
02:29
But they would begin a life of grueling hardship
50
137904
3682
Ali bi započeli život
mukotrpnih poteškoća i monotonije.
mukotrpnih poteškoća i monotonije.
02:33
and monotony.
51
141586
3004
Nisu imali izbora
nego da izgrade kolibu
nego da izgrade kolibu
02:36
They had no choice but to build a shack
52
144590
2699
02:39
on the side of a muddy field,
53
147289
1333
pokraj blatnjavog polja,
02:40
and this is Hany's brother Ashraf,
54
148622
2318
i ovo je Hanijev brat Ašraf,
02:42
who plays outside.
55
150940
1738
koji se igra napolju.
Tog dana, priključili su se
02:44
And that day, they joined
56
152678
2422
najvećoj populaciji izbeglica na svetu,
02:47
the biggest population of refugees in the world,
57
155100
5204
u zemlji Libanu, koja je mala.
02:52
in a country, Lebanon, that is tiny.
58
160304
3026
Ima samo četiri miliona građana,
02:55
It only has four million citizens,
59
163330
2651
02:57
and there are one million Syrian refugees living there.
60
165981
3570
i milion sirijskih izbeglica koje tu žive.
03:01
There's not a town, a city or a village
61
169551
4094
Ne postoji grad, selo ili varošica
03:05
that is not host to Syrian refugees.
62
173645
4747
koje nije domaćin sirijskim izbeglicama.
To je darežljivost i humanost
03:10
This is generosity and humanity
63
178392
3195
koja je izuzetna.
03:13
that is remarkable.
64
181587
4374
03:17
Think about it this way, proportionately.
65
185961
2994
Mislite o tome na ovaj način,
proporcionalno.
proporcionalno.
To bi bilo kao kad bi
03:20
It would be as if
66
188955
1756
03:22
the entire population of Germany,
67
190711
2991
čitava populacija Nemačke,
80 miliona ljudi,
03:25
80 million people,
68
193702
1865
prebegla u Sjedinjene Države
za svega tri godine.
za svega tri godine.
03:27
would flee to the United States in just three years.
69
195567
5390
Polovina čitave populacije Sirije
03:32
Half of the entire population of Syria
70
200957
3161
03:36
is now uprooted,
71
204118
2430
je sada iskorenjena,
većina njih unutar zemlje.
03:38
most of them inside the country.
72
206548
1755
03:40
Six and a half million people
73
208303
2295
Šest i po miliona ljudi
03:42
have fled for their lives.
74
210598
2722
je pobeglo da spasu svoje živote.
03:45
Over and well over three million people
75
213320
2890
Mnogo više od tri miliona ljudi
03:48
have crossed the borders
76
216210
1722
je prešlo granice
03:49
and have found sanctuary
in the neighboring countries,
in the neighboring countries,
77
217932
3543
i pronašlo utočište u susednim zemljama,
03:53
and only a small proportion, as you see,
78
221475
2925
a samo mali udeo se, kao što vidite,
preselio u Evropu.
03:56
have moved on to Europe.
79
224400
4134
04:00
What I find most worrying
80
228534
2671
Ono što smatram najviše zabrinjavajućim
04:03
is that half of all Syrian refugees are children.
81
231205
3926
je da polovinu svih sirijskih izbeglica
čine deca.
čine deca.
04:07
I took this picture of this little girl.
82
235131
2238
Slikala sam ovu malu devojčicu.
Bilo je to samo dva sata
nakon što je stigla
nakon što je stigla
04:09
It was just two hours after she had arrived
83
237369
2925
04:12
after a long trek from Syria into Jordan.
84
240294
4342
posle dugog puta iz Sirije u Jordan.
A najviše od svega zabrinjava
04:16
And most troubling of all
85
244636
3425
04:20
is that only 20 percent of
Syrian refugee children
Syrian refugee children
86
248061
3741
da samo 20 procenata
sirijske dece izbeglica
sirijske dece izbeglica
04:23
are in school in Lebanon.
87
251802
3475
pohađa školu u Libanu.
A ipak, sirijska deca izbeglice,
04:27
And yet, Syrian refugee children,
88
255277
2933
sva deca izbeglice nam govore
04:30
all refugee children tell us
89
258210
2298
04:32
education is the most important thing in their lives.
90
260508
5066
da je obrazovanje
najvažnija stvar u njihovim životima.
najvažnija stvar u njihovim životima.
04:37
Why? Because it allows them to think of their future
91
265574
4181
Zašto? Jer im omogućava
da razmišljaju o svojoj budućnosti
da razmišljaju o svojoj budućnosti
umesto o košmarima prošlosti.
04:41
rather than the nightmare of their past.
92
269755
3395
Omogućava im da misle o nadi
umesto o mržnji.
umesto o mržnji.
04:45
It allows them to think of hope rather than hatred.
93
273150
5634
04:50
I'm reminded of a recent visit I took
94
278784
2029
Sećam se svoje skorašnje posete
04:52
to a Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq,
95
280813
3577
kampu sirijskih izbeglica
u severnom Iraku,
u severnom Iraku,
upoznala sam tu devojčicu,
04:56
and I met this girl,
96
284390
1812
04:58
and I thought, "She's beautiful,"
97
286202
1777
i pomislila sam: "Prelepa je",
04:59
and I went up to her and asked her,
98
287979
1707
prišla sam joj i pitala je:
05:01
"Can I take your picture?"
99
289686
1948
"Mogu li da te slikam?"
05:03
And she said yes,
100
291634
1699
Ona je prihvatila,
05:05
but she refused to smile.
101
293333
3037
ali je odbila da se nasmeje.
Mislim da nije mogla,
05:08
I think she couldn't,
102
296370
3049
zato što mislim da shvata da predstavlja
05:11
because I think she must realize that she represents
103
299419
3506
05:14
a lost generation of Syrian refugee children,
104
302925
4444
izgubljenu generaciju
sirijske dece izbeglica,
sirijske dece izbeglica,
izolovanu i frustriranu generaciju.
05:19
a generation isolated and frustrated.
105
307369
4581
05:23
And yet, look at what they fled:
106
311950
3546
A ipak, pogledajte pred čime su pobegli:
05:27
utter destruction,
107
315496
1839
krajnje razaranje,
05:29
buildings, industries, schools, roads, homes.
108
317335
5579
građevina, privrede,
škola, puteva, domova.
škola, puteva, domova.
Hanijev dom je takođe uništen.
05:34
Hany's home was also destroyed.
109
322914
2679
05:37
This will need to be rebuilt
110
325593
3213
To će morati da obnove
arhitekate, inženjeri, električari.
05:40
by architects, by engineers, by electricians.
111
328806
4831
Zajednici će biti potrebni
učitelji i advokati
učitelji i advokati
05:45
Communities will need teachers and lawyers
112
333637
3647
05:49
and politicians interested in reconciliation
113
337284
4241
i političari sa pomirenjem u interesu,
a ne osvetom.
05:53
and not revenge.
114
341525
2644
Zar to ne bi trebalo da obnove
05:56
Shouldn't this be rebuilt
115
344169
1755
05:57
by the people with the largest stake,
116
345924
3091
ljudi sa najvećim interesom,
06:01
the societies in exile, the refugees?
117
349015
5865
društva u izgnanstvu, izbeglice?
06:06
Refugees have a lot of time
118
354880
2754
Izbeglice imaju mnogo vremena
06:09
to prepare for their return.
119
357634
2246
da se pripreme za svoj povratak.
06:11
You might imagine that being a refugee
120
359880
2715
Možda pretpostavljate
da je biti izbeglica
da je biti izbeglica
06:14
is just a temporary state.
121
362595
2508
samo privremeno stanje.
06:17
Well far from it.
122
365103
2941
Daleko od toga.
06:20
With wars going on and on,
123
368044
3516
Sa ratovima koji se stalno odvijaju,
prosečno vreme koje će izbeglica
provesti u izgnanstvu
provesti u izgnanstvu
06:23
the average time a refugee will spend in exile
124
371560
3802
je 17 godina.
06:27
is 17 years.
125
375362
3465
06:30
Hany was into his second year in limbo
126
378827
3588
Hani je drugu godinu bio u čistilištu
06:34
when I went to visit him recently,
127
382415
2374
kada sam nedavno otišla da ga posetim,
06:36
and we conducted our entire conversation in English,
128
384789
3757
i obavili smo ceo naš razgovor
na engleskom,
na engleskom,
za koji mi je priznao da je naučio
06:40
which he confessed to me he learned
129
388546
1889
06:42
from reading all of Dan Brown's novels
130
390435
3654
čitajući sve romane Dena Brauna
i slušajući američki rep.
06:46
and from listening to American rap.
131
394089
4355
06:50
We also spent some nice moments of laughter
132
398444
2745
Takođe smo proveli
par lepih trenutaka u smehu
par lepih trenutaka u smehu
06:53
and fun with his beloved brother Ashraf.
133
401189
4634
i zabavi sa njegovim
voljenim bratom Ašrafom.
voljenim bratom Ašrafom.
Ali nikada neću zaboraviti šta mi je rekao
06:57
But I'll never forget what he told me
134
405823
1621
06:59
when we ended our conversation that day.
135
407444
3424
kada smo završili razgovor toga dana.
07:02
He said to me,
136
410868
2413
Rekao mi je:
07:05
"If I am not a student, I am nothing."
137
413281
5529
"Ako nisam učenik, nisam ništa."
Hani je jedan od 50 miliona ljudi
07:10
Hany is one of 50 million people
138
418810
3717
07:14
uprooted in this world today.
139
422527
3578
koji su danas u svetu iščupani iz korena.
07:18
Never since World War II
140
426105
2779
Još od Drugog svetskog rata
07:20
have so many people been forcibly displaced.
141
428884
5267
nikad nije toliko ljudi
bilo prisilno raseljeno.
bilo prisilno raseljeno.
Dakle, dok pravimo sveopšti napredak
07:26
So while we're making sweeping progress
142
434151
2629
u ljudskom zdravlju,
07:28
in human health,
143
436780
2101
07:30
in technology, in education and design,
144
438881
4994
tehnologiji, obrazovanju i dizajnu,
činimo opasno malo
07:35
we are doing dangerously little
145
443875
3363
07:39
to help the victims
146
447238
3308
da pomognemo žrtvama
07:42
and we are doing far too little
147
450546
2699
i činimo premalo
da zaustavimo i sprečimo
07:45
to stop and prevent
148
453245
2036
07:47
the wars that are driving them from their homes.
149
455281
3409
ratove koji ih teraju iz svojih domova.
A ima sve više i više žrtava.
07:50
And there are more and more victims.
150
458690
4443
07:55
Every day, on average,
151
463133
3134
Svakoga dana, u proseku,
do kraja ovog dana,
07:58
by the end of this day,
152
466267
2182
32 000 ljudi će biti prisilno raseljeno
08:00
32,000 people will be forcibly displaced
153
468449
3848
iz svojih domova -
08:04
from their homes —
154
472297
2035
08:06
32,000 people.
155
474332
2912
32 000 ljudi.
Oni beže preko granica kao što je ova.
08:11
They flee across borders like this one.
156
479271
3749
08:15
We captured this on the Syrian border to Jordan,
157
483020
3695
Ovo smo zabeležili
na granici Sirije sa Jordanom,
na granici Sirije sa Jordanom,
08:18
and this is a typical day.
158
486715
2960
i ovo je tipičan dan.
Ili beže na nepodesnim
i pretrpanim čamcima,
i pretrpanim čamcima,
08:25
Or they flee on unseaworthy and overcrowded boats,
159
493588
4904
08:30
risking their lives in this case
160
498492
1800
rizikujući svoje živote u ovom slučaju
08:32
just to reach safety in Europe.
161
500292
2631
samo da stignu na sigurno u Evropu.
Ovaj sirijski mladić
08:34
This Syrian young man
162
502923
1715
08:36
survived one of these boats that capsized —
163
504638
2786
je preživeo jedan od ovih čamaca
koji se prevrnuo -
koji se prevrnuo -
08:39
most of the people drowned —
164
507424
1623
većina ljudi se udavila -
08:41
and he told us,
165
509047
2215
i rekao nam je:
08:43
"Syrians are just looking for a quiet place
166
511262
4159
"Sirijci samo traže mirno mesto
gde te niko neće povrediti,
08:47
where nobody hurts you,
167
515421
2869
gde te niko neće ponižavati,
08:50
where nobody humiliates you,
168
518290
2542
i gde te niko neće ubiti."
08:52
and where nobody kills you."
169
520832
2711
Pa, mislim da bi to
trebalo da bude minimum.
trebalo da bude minimum.
08:55
Well, I think that should be the minimum.
170
523543
3218
A šta je sa mestom isceljenja,
08:58
How about a place of healing,
171
526761
3127
učenja,
09:01
of learning,
172
529888
1878
i čak mogućnosti?
09:03
and even opportunity?
173
531766
3394
Amerikanci i Evropljani
09:08
Americans and Europeans
174
536832
2024
imaju utisak da proporcionalno
09:10
have the impression that proportionally
175
538856
3251
ogroman broj izbeglica dolazi
09:14
huge numbers of refugees are coming
176
542107
2373
u njihovu zemlju,
09:16
to their country,
177
544480
2020
09:18
but the reality is
178
546500
2142
ali stvarnost je
da 86 procenata, velika većina izbeglica,
09:20
that 86 percent, the vast majority of refugees,
179
548642
3645
živi u zemljama u razvoju,
09:24
are living in the developing world,
180
552287
2680
u zemljama koje se bore
sa sopstvenom nesigurnošću,
sa sopstvenom nesigurnošću,
09:26
in countries struggling with their own insecurity,
181
554967
4553
09:31
with their own issues of helping their own populations
182
559520
4019
sa sopstvenim problemima
pomaganja svojoj populaciji
pomaganja svojoj populaciji
09:35
and poverty.
183
563539
2123
i siromaštvom.
Zato bogate zemlje sveta
treba da prepoznaju
treba da prepoznaju
09:37
So wealthy countries in the world should recognize
184
565662
3273
humanost i darežljivost zemalja
09:40
the humanity and the generosity of the countries
185
568935
3701
koje ugošćavaju toliko izbeglica.
09:44
that are hosting so many refugees.
186
572636
4118
I sve zemlje treba
da se postaraju da niko
da se postaraju da niko
09:48
And all countries should make sure that no one
187
576754
3632
od onih koji beže od rata i progona
09:52
fleeing war and persecution
188
580386
2553
ne dođe do zatvorene granice.
09:54
arrives at a closed border.
189
582939
3713
(Aplauz)
09:58
(Applause)
190
586652
2630
Hvala vam.
10:01
Thank you.
191
589282
3237
Ali postoji još nešto što možemo učiniti
10:06
But there is something more that we can do
192
594200
2305
10:08
than just simply helping refugees survive.
193
596505
4410
umesto da prosto
pomognemo izbeglicama da prežive.
pomognemo izbeglicama da prežive.
Možemo im pomoći da se razvijaju.
10:12
We can help them thrive.
194
600915
3531
Trebalo bi da razmišljamo
o izbegličkim kampovima i zajednicama
o izbegličkim kampovima i zajednicama
10:16
We should think of refugee camps and communities
195
604446
3060
kao nečemu što je više
od privremenih centara za zbrinjavanje
od privremenih centara za zbrinjavanje
10:19
as more than just temporary population centers
196
607506
4207
gde ljudi čame,
10:23
where people languish
197
611713
2160
čekajući da se rat završi.
10:25
waiting for the war to end.
198
613873
2909
Treba da budu centri izvrsnosti,
10:28
Rather, as centers of excellence,
199
616782
3729
10:32
where refugees can triumph over their trauma
200
620511
3948
gde izbeglice mogu trijumfovati
nad svojom traumom
nad svojom traumom
i vežbati za dan
kada budu mogli da odu kući
kada budu mogli da odu kući
10:36
and train for the day that they can go home
201
624459
3184
10:39
as agents of positive change
202
627643
3081
kao pokretači pozitivne promene
10:42
and social transformation.
203
630724
4398
i društvenog preobražaja.
To ima tako mnogo smisla,
10:47
It makes so much sense,
204
635122
2386
10:49
but I'm reminded of the terrible war in Somalia
205
637508
4309
ali se sećam užasnog rata u Somaliji
koji je besneo 22 godine.
10:53
that has been raging on for 22 years.
206
641817
3924
Zamislite da živite u ovom kampu.
10:57
And imagine living in this camp.
207
645741
2509
11:00
I visited this camp.
208
648250
1573
Posetila sam ovaj kamp.
11:01
It's in Djibouti, neighboring Somalia,
209
649823
1877
Nalazi se u Džibutiju,
u susedstvu Somalije,
u susedstvu Somalije,
11:03
and it was so remote
210
651700
2544
i bio je tako zabačen
da smo morali
da doletimo tamo helikopterom.
da doletimo tamo helikopterom.
11:06
that we had to take a helicopter to fly there.
211
654244
2441
Bilo je prašnjavo i užasno vruće.
11:08
It was dusty and it was terribly hot.
212
656685
3446
11:12
And we went to visit a school
213
660131
2294
Išli smo u posetu školi
11:14
and started talking to the children,
214
662425
1917
i počeli da pričamo sa decom,
i tada sam videla
tu devojčicu na kraju sobe
tu devojčicu na kraju sobe
11:16
and then I saw this girl across the room
215
664342
2594
koja je izgledala kao da je istog uzrasta
11:18
who looked to me to be the same age
216
666936
1849
11:20
as my own daughter, and I went up and talked to her.
217
668785
3281
kao moja ćerka,
i otišla sam da pričam sa njom.
i otišla sam da pričam sa njom.
11:24
And I asked her the questions
218
672066
1544
Postavila sam joj pitanja
11:25
that grown-ups ask kids,
219
673610
2179
koja odrasli postavljaju deci,
kao što su:
"Koji je tvoj omiljeni predmet?"
"Koji je tvoj omiljeni predmet?"
11:27
like, "What is your favorite subject?"
220
675789
1923
11:29
and, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
221
677712
2655
i "Šta želiš da budeš kada porasteš?"
I tada joj je lice postalo bezizražajno,
11:32
And this is when her face turned blank,
222
680367
3297
i rekla mi je:
11:35
and she said to me,
223
683664
2050
"Ja nemam budućnost.
11:37
"I have no future.
224
685714
2471
Moji dani školovanja su završeni."
11:40
My schooling days are over."
225
688185
2977
Pomislila sam,
mora da postoji neki nesporazum.
mora da postoji neki nesporazum.
11:43
And I thought, there must be some misunderstanding,
226
691162
1648
11:44
so I turned to my colleague
227
692810
2309
pa sam se okrenula ka svojoj koleginici
i ona mi je potvrdila
11:47
and she confirmed to me
228
695119
2098
da nema sredstava
za srednjoškolsko obrazovanje
za srednjoškolsko obrazovanje
11:49
there is no funding for secondary education
229
697217
2693
u ovom kampu.
11:51
in this camp.
230
699910
2270
Kako sam želela u tom trenutku
11:54
And how I wished at that moment
231
702180
1469
11:55
that I could say to her,
232
703649
2318
da mogu da joj kažem:
"Sagradićemo ti školu."
11:57
"We will build you a school."
233
705967
2405
12:00
And I also thought, what a waste.
234
708372
4174
I takođe sam pomislila, kakva šteta.
Ona bi trebalo da bude i ona jeste
12:04
She should be and she is
235
712546
3048
budućnost Somalije.
12:07
the future of Somalia.
236
715594
4331
Dečak po imenu Džejkob Atem
12:11
A boy named Jacob Atem
237
719925
3206
imao je drugačiju priliku,
ali nakon što je iskusio
ali nakon što je iskusio
12:15
had a different chance, but not before he experienced
238
723131
3195
užasnu tragediju.
12:18
terribly tragedy.
239
726326
2092
Posmatrao je - ovo je u Sudanu -
12:20
He watched — this is in Sudan —
240
728418
2464
kako njegovo selo
- imao je samo sedam godina -
- imao je samo sedam godina -
12:22
as his village — he was only seven years old —
241
730882
2294
12:25
burned to the ground, and he learned
242
733176
2382
gori do temelja, i saznao je
da su njegova majka i otac
12:27
that his mother and his father
243
735558
1839
12:29
and his entire family
244
737397
1989
i njegova cela porodica
12:31
were killed that day.
245
739386
1864
ubijeni tog dana.
Samo njegov rođak je preživeo,
i njih dvojica
i njih dvojica
12:33
Only his cousin survived, and the two of them
246
741250
1790
12:35
walked for seven months —
247
743040
2280
su pešačili sedam meseci -
ovo su dečaci poput njega -
12:37
this is boys like him —
248
745320
1850
12:39
chased and pursued by wild
animals and armed gangs,
animals and armed gangs,
249
747170
3208
dok su ga jurile i ganjale
divlje životinje i naoružane bande,
divlje životinje i naoružane bande,
12:42
and they finally made it to refugee camps
250
750378
2360
i konačno su stigli do izbegličkih kampova
12:44
where they found safety,
251
752738
1533
gde su našli sigurnost,
12:46
and he would spend the next seven years
252
754271
2123
i on će provesti narednih sedam godina
12:48
in Kenya in a refugee camp.
253
756394
3187
u Keniji u izbegličkom kampu.
12:51
But his life changed
254
759581
2528
Ali njegov život se promenio
kada je dobio priliku da se preseli
12:54
when he got the chance to be resettled
255
762109
2103
u Sjedinjene Države,
12:56
to the United States,
256
764212
2205
i pronašao je ljubav
u hraniteljskoj porodici
u hraniteljskoj porodici
12:58
and he found love in a foster family
257
766417
2696
i bio je u mogućnosti da ide u školu,
13:01
and he was able to go to school,
258
769113
2588
i želeo je da podelim sa vama
13:03
and he wanted me to share with you
259
771701
2294
13:05
this proud moment
260
773995
1568
ovaj ponosni momenat
kada je diplomirao na fakultetu.
13:07
when he graduated from university.
261
775563
2305
13:09
(Applause)
262
777868
3942
(Aplauz)
Pričala sam sa njim
na Skajpu pre neki dan,
na Skajpu pre neki dan,
13:15
I spoke to him on Skype the other day,
263
783829
2414
bio je na njegovom novom univerzitetu
na Floridi,
na Floridi,
13:18
and he was in his new university in Florida
264
786243
4994
na putu da postane doktor nauka
iz oblasti javnog zdravlja,
iz oblasti javnog zdravlja,
13:23
pursuing his Ph.D. in public health,
265
791237
2999
i ponosno mi je rekao
da je uspeo da sakupi
da je uspeo da sakupi
13:26
and he proudly told me how he was able to raise
266
794236
3070
dovoljno sredstava od američke javnosti
13:29
enough funds from the American public
267
797306
2684
da osnuje zdravstvenu kliniku u svom selu.
13:31
to establish a health clinic back in his village
268
799990
4585
13:36
back home.
269
804575
3080
13:39
So I want to take you back to Hany.
270
807655
3284
Hoću da vas vratim na Hanija.
Kada sam mu rekla da ću imati priliku
13:42
When I told him I was going to have the chance
271
810939
2221
da vam govorim ovde na TED bini,
13:45
to speak to you here on the TED stage,
272
813160
2717
dozvolio mi je da vam pročitam pesmu
13:47
he allowed me to read you a poem
273
815877
2295
koju mi je poslao u imejlu.
13:50
that he sent in an email to me.
274
818172
3360
Napisao je:
13:53
He wrote:
275
821532
2917
"Nedostajem mi ja,
13:57
"I miss myself,
276
825270
2560
moji prijatelji,
13:59
my friends,
277
827830
2505
trenuci čitanja romana ili pisanja pesama,
14:02
times of reading novels or writing poems,
278
830335
4255
ptice i čaj ujutru.
14:06
birds and tea in the morning.
279
834590
4925
Moja soba, moje knjige, ja,
14:11
My room, my books, myself,
280
839515
4949
14:16
and everything that was making me smile.
281
844464
5658
sve što mi je donosilo osmeh.
O, o, imao sam toliko snova
14:22
Oh, oh, I had so many dreams
282
850122
4128
koji je trebalo da se ostvare."
14:26
that were about to be realized."
283
854250
3546
Dakle evo moje poente:
14:31
So here is my point:
284
859323
2228
14:33
Not investing in refugees
285
861551
2046
ne investirati u izbeglice
14:35
is a huge missed opportunity.
286
863597
5644
je ogromna propuštena prilika.
Ostavite ih napuštenim,
14:41
Leave them abandoned,
287
869241
1851
14:43
and they risk exploitation and abuse,
288
871092
5347
i oni rizikuju da ih
izrabljuju i zlostavljaju,
izrabljuju i zlostavljaju,
i ostavite ih
nekvalifikovanim i neobrazovanim,
nekvalifikovanim i neobrazovanim,
14:48
and leave them unskilled and uneducated,
289
876439
3273
i odlažete godine do povratka
14:51
and delay by years the return
290
879712
2553
14:54
to peace and prosperity in their countries.
291
882265
5850
mira i blagostanja u njihovim zemljama.
Verujem da će
način na koji tretiramo raseljene
način na koji tretiramo raseljene
15:00
I believe how we treat the uprooted
292
888115
3284

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Melissa Fleming - Voice for refugeesMelissa Fleming sheds light on their devastating plight and remarkable resilience of refugees.
Why you should listen
Almost 60 million people in the world today have been forcefully displaced from their home - a level not seen since WWII. As many as four million Syrian refugees have sought refuge in neighboring countries. In Lebanon, half of these refugees are children; only 20 percent are in school.
Melissa Fleming, Head of Communications and Spokesperson for the High Commissioner at UN's High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), calls on all of us to make sure that refugee camps are healing places where people can develop the skills they'll need to rebuild their hometowns. Investing in this, she says, may well be the most effective relief effort there is. This inspires her and the teams at the UNHCR to tell stories of the individuals who are displaced.
Fleming's 2017 book, A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea, was born out of the story of Doaa Al Zamel, told her in TED Talk.
Fleming was named senior advisor and spokesperson for UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, in October 2016.
