With $100 million awarded in the MacArthur Foundation’s 100andChange competition, the International Rescue Committee and 'Sesame Street' will reach millions of refugee children in the Middle East with education and hope. In this video, see our work in action in Lebanon as we help young Syrian children build the language, reading, math and emotional skills they need to succeed. 

This World Refugee Day, Mandy Patinkin wrote a special letter to author, educator, political activist—and refugee—Elie Wiesel. The fact is, our world would be a far different place if refugees were turned away. From art to science, film and business, music and technology, refugees have been drivers of major cultural and societal achievements. Join Mandy and #StandWithRefugees.
