50 miljonit inimest on olude sunnil oma kodudest lahkunud, see on suurim hulk peale II maailmasõja lõppu. Üle kolme miljoni Süüria pagulase otsib ümbruskondsetes riikides varjupaika. Pooled Liibanonis olevatest pagulastest on lapsed ja vaid 20% neist käib koolis. Melissa Fleming ÜRO pagulasagentuurist innustab meid vormima pagulaslaagreid turvalisteks paranemispaikadeks, kus inimesed saavad arendada oskusi, mis on vajalikud nende kodude hilisemaks ülesehitamiseks.

So I started working
0
812
1637
Ma valisin töö
00:14
with refugees because I wanted
1
2449
1884
pagulastega, sest ma tahtsin
00:16
to make a difference,
2
4333
2340
maailma parandada
00:18
and making a difference starts
3
6673
1407
ja maailma parandamine algab
00:20
with telling their stories.
4
8080
2356
nende lugude edasirääkimisest.
00:22
So when I meet refugees,
5
10436
1490
Alati, kui ma kohtan pagulasi,
00:23
I always ask them questions.
6
11926
2800
küsin ma neilt küsimusi.
00:26
Who bombed your house?
7
14726
2318
Kes pommitas su kodu maatasa?
00:29
Who killed your son?
8
17044
2653
Kes tappis su poja?
00:31
Did the rest of your family make it out alive?
9
19697
4044
Kas su ülejäänud pereliikmed
pääsesid eluga?
pääsesid eluga?
00:35
How are you coping
10
23741
1986
Kuidas sa saad hakkama
00:37
in your life in exile?
11
25727
2531
eluga eksiilis?
00:40
But there's one question that always seems to me
12
28258
3003
Kuid küsimus,
mis on minu jaoks kõige kõnekam,
mis on minu jaoks kõige kõnekam,
00:43
to be most revealing, and that is:
13
31261
2464
on järgmine:
00:45
What did you take?
14
33725
2182
Mille sa kaasa võtsid?
00:47
What was that most important thing
15
35907
2250
Mis oli sinu jaoks kõige olulisem,
00:50
that you had to take with you
16
38157
2072
mille sa pidid endaga kaasa võtma,
00:52
when the bombs were exploding in your town,
17
40229
3406
kui su kodulinnas plahvatasid pommid
00:55
and the armed gangs were approaching your house?
18
43635
4425
ja relvastatud jõugud piirasid
su maja sisse?
su maja sisse?
01:00
A Syrian refugee boy I know
19
48060
2605
Üks süürlasest pagulaspoiss,
keda ma tunnen,
keda ma tunnen,
01:02
told me that he didn't hesitate
20
50665
2690
ütles mulle, et ta ei kõhelnud,
01:05
when his life was in imminent danger.
21
53355
3790
kui ta elu oli ohus.
01:09
He took his high school diploma,
22
57145
2981
Ta võttis kaasa oma
keskkooli lõputunnistuse
keskkooli lõputunnistuse
01:12
and later he told me why.
23
60126
1929
ja selgitas hiljem, miks ta seda tegi.
01:14
He said, "I took my high school diploma
24
62055
3208
Ta ütles: "Ma võtsin oma
keskkooli lõputunnistuse,
keskkooli lõputunnistuse,
01:17
because my life depended on it."
25
65263
3206
sest sellest sõltus mu elu."
01:20
And he would risk his life to get that diploma.
26
68469
3229
Ta oli riskinud oma eluga,
et see tunnistus saada.
et see tunnistus saada.
01:23
On his way to school, he would dodge snipers.
27
71698
3682
Kooliteel pidi ta sageli kuulide
eest kõrvale põikama.
eest kõrvale põikama.
01:27
His classroom sometimes shook
28
75380
2515
Sageli vappus tema klassiruum
01:29
with the sound of bombs and shelling,
29
77895
3234
ümberringi lõhkevate pommide kuminast.
01:33
and his mother told me,
30
81129
2807
Ta ema ütles mulle:
01:35
"Every day, I would say to him every morning,
31
83936
3069
"Ma palusin igal hommikul,
01:39
'Honey, please don't go to school.'"
32
87005
2926
et ta kooli ei läheks."
01:41
And when he insisted, she said,
33
89931
3459
Kui ta keeldus, vastas ema:
01:45
"I would hug him as if it were for the last time."
34
93390
3972
"Ma kallistasin teda alati nii,
nagu see oleks viimane kord."
nagu see oleks viimane kord."
01:49
But he said to his mother,
35
97362
2030
Aga ta ütles oma emale:
01:51
"We're all afraid,
36
99392
1845
"Me kõik kardame,
01:53
but our determination to graduate
37
101237
2891
kuid meie tahe kool lõpetada
01:56
is stronger than our fear."
38
104128
3334
on tugevam kui meie hirm."
01:59
But one day, the family got terrible news.
39
107462
3336
Ühel päeval jõudis tema pereni
kohutav uudis.
kohutav uudis.
02:02
Hany's aunt, his uncle and his cousin
40
110798
2734
Hany tädi, onu ja nõbu
02:05
were murdered in their homes for refusing
41
113532
2689
mõrvati oma kodus, kuna nad keeldusid
02:08
to leave their house.
42
116221
994
sealt lahkumast.
02:09
Their throats were slit.
43
117215
2865
Nende kõrid lõigati läbi.
02:12
It was time to flee.
44
120080
2631
Oli aeg põgeneda.
02:14
They left that day, right away, in their car,
45
122711
3014
Nad lahkusid selsamal päeval,
selsamal hetkel, autoga,
selsamal hetkel, autoga,
02:17
Hany hidden in the back because they were facing
46
125725
1861
Hany oli peidetud auto tagaossa,
02:19
checkpoints of menacing soldiers.
47
127586
3910
sest nende teel ootasid ees mitmed
sõduritega mehitatud konrollpunktid.
sõduritega mehitatud konrollpunktid.
02:23
And they would cross the border into Lebanon,
48
131496
3712
Lõpuks ületasid nad piiri
ja jõudsid Liibanoni,
ja jõudsid Liibanoni,
02:27
where they would find peace.
49
135208
2696
kus neid ootas ees rahu.
02:29
But they would begin a life of grueling hardship
50
137904
3682
Kuid uue elu alustamine sai olema
kurnavalt raske
kurnavalt raske
02:33
and monotony.
51
141586
3004
ja üksluine.
02:36
They had no choice but to build a shack
52
144590
2699
Neil polnud muud valikut,
kui ehitada onn
kui ehitada onn
02:39
on the side of a muddy field,
53
147289
1333
mudase välja äärealale
02:40
and this is Hany's brother Ashraf,
54
148622
2318
ja see on Hany vend Ashraf,
02:42
who plays outside.
55
150940
1738
kes mängib õues.
02:44
And that day, they joined
56
152678
2422
Sel päeval liitusid
02:47
the biggest population of refugees in the world,
57
155100
5204
nad maailma suurima pagulaste grupiga
02:52
in a country, Lebanon, that is tiny.
58
160304
3026
riigis, mis on tilluke – Liibanonis.
02:55
It only has four million citizens,
59
163330
2651
Seal elab vaid neli miljonit kodanikku
02:57
and there are one million Syrian refugees living there.
60
165981
3570
ning tänaseks juba miljon Süüria pagulast.
03:01
There's not a town, a city or a village
61
169551
4094
Sealt ei leia linna, küla ega asulat,
03:05
that is not host to Syrian refugees.
62
173645
4747
kus ei oleks ühtegi Süüria pagulast.
03:10
This is generosity and humanity
63
178392
3195
See on näide tähelepanuväärsest
03:13
that is remarkable.
64
181587
4374
lahkusest ja inimlikkusest.
03:17
Think about it this way, proportionately.
65
185961
2994
Mõelgem sellest proportsionaalselt.
03:20
It would be as if
66
188955
1756
See oleks umbes sama
03:22
the entire population of Germany,
67
190711
2991
kui terve Saksamaa elanikkond
03:25
80 million people,
68
193702
1865
– 80 miljonit inimest –
03:27
would flee to the United States in just three years.
69
195567
5390
pageks kõigest kolme aastaga
Ameerikasse.
Ameerikasse.
03:32
Half of the entire population of Syria
70
200957
3161
Pool Süüria elanikkonnast
03:36
is now uprooted,
71
204118
2430
on oma kodudest lahkunud,
03:38
most of them inside the country.
72
206548
1755
enamus neist riigi piires.
03:40
Six and a half million people
73
208303
2295
Kuus ja pool miljonit inimest
03:42
have fled for their lives.
74
210598
2722
on oma elu päästmiseks põgenenud.
03:45
Over and well over three million people
75
213320
2890
Kõvasti üle kolme miljoni inimese
03:48
have crossed the borders
76
216210
1722
on ületanud riigipiiri
03:49
and have found sanctuary
in the neighboring countries,
in the neighboring countries,
77
217932
3543
ja leidnud pelgupaigad
naabruskonnas asuvates riikides.
naabruskonnas asuvates riikides.
03:53
and only a small proportion, as you see,
78
221475
2925
Vaid väike hulk Süüria pagulastest
03:56
have moved on to Europe.
79
224400
4134
on liikunud edasi Euroopasse.
04:00
What I find most worrying
80
228534
2671
Mis mind enim muretsema paneb,
04:03
is that half of all Syrian refugees are children.
81
231205
3926
on teadmine, et pooled Süüria pagulastest
on lapsed.
on lapsed.
04:07
I took this picture of this little girl.
82
235131
2238
Ma tegin foto sellest väikesest tüdrukust.
04:09
It was just two hours after she had arrived
83
237369
2925
See on tehtud vaid kaks tundi
pärast tema saabumist
pärast tema saabumist
04:12
after a long trek from Syria into Jordan.
84
240294
4342
peale pikka retke Süüriast Jordaaniasse.
04:16
And most troubling of all
85
244636
3425
Kõige murettekitavam on see,
04:20
is that only 20 percent of
Syrian refugee children
Syrian refugee children
86
248061
3741
et vaid 20% Süüria pagulaslastest
04:23
are in school in Lebanon.
87
251802
3475
käib Liibanonis koolis.
04:27
And yet, Syrian refugee children,
88
255277
2933
Sellele vaatamata räägivad
Süüria pagulaslapsed,
Süüria pagulaslapsed,
04:30
all refugee children tell us
89
258210
2298
tegelikult kõik pagulaslapsed,
04:32
education is the most important thing in their lives.
90
260508
5066
et haridus on nende elus kõige olulisem.
04:37
Why? Because it allows them to think of their future
91
265574
4181
Miks? Sest see võimaldab
neil mõelda oma tulevikule,
neil mõelda oma tulevikule,
04:41
rather than the nightmare of their past.
92
269755
3395
selle asemel, et takerduda
seljataha jäetud aja õudustesse.
seljataha jäetud aja õudustesse.
04:45
It allows them to think of hope rather than hatred.
93
273150
5634
See võimaldab neil mõelda
vihkamise asemel lootusele.
vihkamise asemel lootusele.
04:50
I'm reminded of a recent visit I took
94
278784
2029
Mulle meenub üks hiljutistest käikudest
04:52
to a Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq,
95
280813
3577
Põhja-Iraagis asuvasse
Süüria pagulaslaagrisse,
Süüria pagulaslaagrisse,
04:56
and I met this girl,
96
284390
1812
kus ma tutvusin ühe tüdrukuga
04:58
and I thought, "She's beautiful,"
97
286202
1777
ja mõtlesin: "Ta on imeilus."
04:59
and I went up to her and asked her,
98
287979
1707
Ma läksin tema juurde ja küsisin:
05:01
"Can I take your picture?"
99
289686
1948
"Kas ma võin sind pildistada?"
05:03
And she said yes,
100
291634
1699
Ta nõustus,
05:05
but she refused to smile.
101
293333
3037
kuid keeldus naeratamast.
05:08
I think she couldn't,
102
296370
3049
Ma arvan,
et ta ei suutnud seda teha,
et ta ei suutnud seda teha,
05:11
because I think she must realize that she represents
103
299419
3506
sest ta mõistis, et on osa
05:14
a lost generation of Syrian refugee children,
104
302925
4444
Süüria pagulaslaste kadunud põlvkonnast.
05:19
a generation isolated and frustrated.
105
307369
4581
Põlvkonnast, mis on
äralõigatud ja pettunud.
äralõigatud ja pettunud.
05:23
And yet, look at what they fled:
106
311950
3546
Mõelgem, mille juurest nad pagesid:
05:27
utter destruction,
107
315496
1839
kohutava hävingu,
05:29
buildings, industries, schools, roads, homes.
108
317335
5579
ehitiste, tööstuse, koolide,
teede ja kodude.
teede ja kodude.
05:34
Hany's home was also destroyed.
109
322914
2679
Ka Hany kodu hävitati.
05:37
This will need to be rebuilt
110
325593
3213
See tuleb taas üles ehitada
05:40
by architects, by engineers, by electricians.
111
328806
4831
arhitektide, inseneride
ja elektrikute poolt.
ja elektrikute poolt.
05:45
Communities will need teachers and lawyers
112
333637
3647
Kogukonnad vajavad õpetajaid ja juriste
05:49
and politicians interested in reconciliation
113
337284
4241
ja poliitikuid, kes otsivad lepitust,
05:53
and not revenge.
114
341525
2644
mitte kättemaksu.
05:56
Shouldn't this be rebuilt
115
344169
1755
Kas seda ei peaks tegema
05:57
by the people with the largest stake,
116
345924
3091
inimesed, keda see kõige enam mõjutab
06:01
the societies in exile, the refugees?
117
349015
5865
– pagenduses olevad ühiskonnad? Pagulased?
06:06
Refugees have a lot of time
118
354880
2754
Pagulastel on hulganisti aega,
06:09
to prepare for their return.
119
357634
2246
valmistamaks ette oma tagasitulekut.
06:11
You might imagine that being a refugee
120
359880
2715
Te võite mõelda, et pagulaseks olemine
06:14
is just a temporary state.
121
362595
2508
on midagi ajutist.
06:17
Well far from it.
122
365103
2941
Kaugel sellest.
06:20
With wars going on and on,
123
368044
3516
Ajal, mil ümberringi toimuvad
lõppematud sõjad,
lõppematud sõjad,
06:23
the average time a refugee will spend in exile
124
371560
3802
viibivad pagulased eksiilis keskmiselt
06:27
is 17 years.
125
375362
3465
17 aastat.
06:30
Hany was into his second year in limbo
126
378827
3588
Hany oli teist aastat pagenduses,
06:34
when I went to visit him recently,
127
382415
2374
kui ma tal viimati külas käisin
06:36
and we conducted our entire conversation in English,
128
384789
3757
ja me vestlesime terve aja inglise keeles,
06:40
which he confessed to me he learned
129
388546
1889
mille ta oli õppinud,
nagu ta tunnistas,
nagu ta tunnistas,
06:42
from reading all of Dan Brown's novels
130
390435
3654
Dan Browni romaane lugedes
06:46
and from listening to American rap.
131
394089
4355
ja Ameerika räppmuusikat kuulates.
06:50
We also spent some nice moments of laughter
132
398444
2745
Meil oli ka naeru
06:53
and fun with his beloved brother Ashraf.
133
401189
4634
ja rõõmu täis hetki
koos tema armastatud venna Ashrafiga.
koos tema armastatud venna Ashrafiga.
06:57
But I'll never forget what he told me
134
405823
1621
Ma ei unusta eal, mida ta ütles,
06:59
when we ended our conversation that day.
135
407444
3424
kui me lõpetasime oma tookordse vestluse.
07:02
He said to me,
136
410868
2413
Ta ütles mulle:
07:05
"If I am not a student, I am nothing."
137
413281
5529
"Kui ma pole õpilane,
pole ma mitte keegi."
pole ma mitte keegi."
07:10
Hany is one of 50 million people
138
418810
3717
Hany on üks 50 miljonist inimesest,
07:14
uprooted in this world today.
139
422527
3578
kes on oma kodust pagenud.
07:18
Never since World War II
140
426105
2779
Mitte kunagi peale II maailmasõda
07:20
have so many people been forcibly displaced.
141
428884
5267
pole nii paljud inimesed olnud
jõuga ümber paigutatud.
jõuga ümber paigutatud.
07:26
So while we're making sweeping progress
142
434151
2629
Samal ajal kui me teeme suuri edusamme
07:28
in human health,
143
436780
2101
tervise
07:30

ja tehnoloogia,
hariduse ja disaini vallas,
hariduse ja disaini vallas,
07:35
we are doing dangerously little
145
443875
3363
oleme me liikunud häbiväärselt vähe,
07:39
to help the victims
146
447238
3308
aitamaks ohvreid
07:42
and we are doing far too little
147
450546
2699
ja me teeme kaugelt liiga vähe,
07:45
to stop and prevent
148
453245
2036
et lõpetada ja ennetada
07:47
the wars that are driving them from their homes.
149
455281
3409
sõdu, mis inimesi nende kodudest
eemale kihutavad.
eemale kihutavad.
07:50
And there are more and more victims.
150
458690
4443
Ohvreid on üha rohkem.
07:55
Every day, on average,
151
463133
3134
Iga päev,
07:58
by the end of this day,
152
466267
2182
ka tänase päeva lõpuks,
08:00
32,000 people will be forcibly displaced
153
468449
3848
on keskmiselt 32 000 inimest
sunnitud pagema
sunnitud pagema
08:04
from their homes —
154
472297
2035
oma kodudest,
08:06
32,000 people.
155
474332
2912
32 000 inimest.
08:11
They flee across borders like this one.
156
479271
3749
Nad pagevad üle piiride nagu see.
08:15
We captured this on the Syrian border to Jordan,
157
483020
3695
See kaader on salvestatud
Süüria-Jordaania piiril,
Süüria-Jordaania piiril,
08:18
and this is a typical day.
158
486715
2960
ja see on tavapärane päev.
08:25
Or they flee on unseaworthy and overcrowded boats,
159
493588
4904
Paljud neist pagevad lagunevatel
ja ülerahvastatud paatidel,
ja ülerahvastatud paatidel,
08:30
risking their lives in this case
160
498492
1800
riskides oma eludega,
08:32
just to reach safety in Europe.
161
500292
2631
et jõuda turvalisse Euroopasse.
08:34
This Syrian young man
162
502923
1715
See Süüria noormees
08:36
survived one of these boats that capsized —
163
504638
2786
pääses laevahukust,
08:39
most of the people drowned —
164
507424
1623
kus enamus inimestest uppus,
08:41
and he told us,
165
509047
2215
ja ütles meile:
08:43
"Syrians are just looking for a quiet place
166
511262
4159
"Süürlased otsivad rahulikku paika,
08:47
where nobody hurts you,
167
515421
2869
kus keegi neile haiget ei teeks,
08:50
where nobody humiliates you,
168
518290
2542
kus keegi neid ei alandaks,
08:52
and where nobody kills you."
169
520832
2711
kus keegi neid ei tapaks."
08:55
Well, I think that should be the minimum.
170
523543
3218
Ma arvan, et see peaks olema vähim.
08:58
How about a place of healing,
171
526761
3127
Miks ei võiks see olla koht,
kus nad saavad oma haavu ravida,
kus nad saavad oma haavu ravida,
09:01
of learning,
172
529888
1878
õppida
09:03
and even opportunity?
173
531766
3394
ja lootusrikkalt tulevikku vaadata?
09:08
Americans and Europeans
174
536832
2024
Ameeriklased ja eurooplased
09:10
have the impression that proportionally
175
538856
3251
arvavad, et ebaproportsionaalselt
09:14
huge numbers of refugees are coming
176
542107
2373
palju pagulasi üritab
09:16
to their country,
177
544480
2020
nende riiki pääseda,
09:18
but the reality is
178
546500
2142
kuid tegelikkus on see,
09:20
that 86 percent, the vast majority of refugees,
179
548642
3645
et 86% ehk valdav enamus pagulastest
09:24
are living in the developing world,
180
552287
2680
elab arengumaades,
09:26
in countries struggling with their own insecurity,
181
554967
4553
riikides, kus puudub kindlus,
09:31
with their own issues of helping their own populations
182
559520
4019
riikides, kus on raskusi
oma rahva aitamisega,
oma rahva aitamisega,
09:35
and poverty.
183
563539
2123
riikides, kus valitseb vaesus.
09:37
So wealthy countries in the world should recognize
184
565662
3273
Jõukad riigid peaksid mõistma
09:40
the humanity and the generosity of the countries
185
568935
3701
nende riikide inimlikkust ja lahkust,
09:44
that are hosting so many refugees.
186
572636
4118
kes enda nigelatele oludele vaatamata
nii palju pagulasi vastu võtavad.
nii palju pagulasi vastu võtavad.
09:48
And all countries should make sure that no one
187
576754
3632
Kõik riigid peaksid kindlustama,
et mitte keegi,
et mitte keegi,
09:52
fleeing war and persecution
188
580386
2553
kes pageb sõja ja tagakiusamise eest
09:54
arrives at a closed border.
189
582939
3713
ei peaks suletud piiri
taga seisma jääma.
taga seisma jääma.
09:58
(Applause)
190
586652
2630
(Aplaus)
10:01
Thank you.
191
589282
3237
Aitäh.
10:06
But there is something more that we can do
192
594200
2305
Tegelikult saame me teha enamat,
10:08
than just simply helping refugees survive.
193
596505
4410
kui aidata pagulastel elus püsida.
10:12
We can help them thrive.
194
600915
3531
Me saame aidata neil särada.
10:16
We should think of refugee camps and communities
195
604446
3060
Me peaksime nägema pagulaslaagrites
ja kogukondades enamat,
ja kogukondades enamat,
10:19
as more than just temporary population centers
196
607506
4207
kui lihtsalt ajutisi majutuskeskusi,
10:23
where people languish
197
611713
2160
kus inimesed kiratsevad
10:25
waiting for the war to end.
198
613873
2909
sõja lõppu oodates.
10:28
Rather, as centers of excellence,
199
616782
3729
Me peaksime neid laagreid nägema
arengut soodustavate keskustena,
arengut soodustavate keskustena,
10:32
where refugees can triumph over their trauma
200
620511
3948
kus pagulased saavad üle neid
kimbutavatest traumadest
kimbutavatest traumadest
10:36
and train for the day that they can go home
201
624459
3184
ja valmistuvad aktiivselt päevaks,
mil nad saavad koju naaseda
mil nad saavad koju naaseda
10:39
as agents of positive change
202
627643
3081
positiivse mõtteviisi kandjate
10:42
and social transformation.
203
630724
4398
ja ühiskonna taasloojatena.
10:47
It makes so much sense,
204
635122
2386
See on üdini loogiline,
10:49
but I'm reminded of the terrible war in Somalia
205
637508
4309
kuid mulle meenub kohutav sõda,
mis Somaaliat
mis Somaaliat
10:53
that has been raging on for 22 years.
206
641817
3924
viimased 22 aastat laastanud on.
10:57
And imagine living in this camp.
207
645741
2509
Kujutage ette elu selles laagris.
11:00
I visited this camp.
208
648250
1573
Ma külastasin seda laagrit.
11:01
It's in Djibouti, neighboring Somalia,
209
649823
1877
See asub Somaalia külje all Dijboutis,
11:03
and it was so remote
210
651700
2544
see on kõigest nii kaugel,
11:06
that we had to take a helicopter to fly there.
211
654244
2441
et me pidime sinna jõudmiseks
helikopterit kasutama.
helikopterit kasutama.
11:08
It was dusty and it was terribly hot.
212
656685
3446
Seal oli tolmune ja kohutavalt palav.
11:12
And we went to visit a school
213
660131
2294
Me külastasime üht kooli
11:14
and started talking to the children,
214
662425
1917
ja rääkisime seal õppivate lastega,
11:16
and then I saw this girl across the room
215
664342
2594
kui ma nägin üht tüdrukut
toa teises otsas,
toa teises otsas,
11:18
who looked to me to be the same age
216
666936
1849
kes paistis samaealisena,
11:20
as my own daughter, and I went up and talked to her.
217
668785
3281
kui mu enda tütar
ning ma läksin temaga vestlema.
ning ma läksin temaga vestlema.
11:24
And I asked her the questions
218
672066
1544
Ma küsisin temalt küsimusi,
11:25
that grown-ups ask kids,
219
673610
2179
mida täiskasvanud harilikult
lastelt küsivad:
lastelt küsivad:
11:27
like, "What is your favorite subject?"
220
675789
1923
"Mis on su lemmikõppeaine?"
11:29
and, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
221
677712
2655
"Mida sa tahad teha,
kui sa suureks kasvad?"
kui sa suureks kasvad?"
11:32
And this is when her face turned blank,
222
680367
3297
Sel hetkel täitis ta pilku tühjus
11:35
and she said to me,
223
683664
2050
ja ta ütles mulle:
11:37
"I have no future.
224
685714
2471
"Mul pole tulevikku.
11:40
My schooling days are over."
225
688185
2977
Mu koolipäevad on läbi."
11:43
And I thought, there must be some misunderstanding,
226
691162
1648
Arvasin, et mõistan teda valesti
11:44
so I turned to my colleague
227
692810
2309
ja pöördusin kolleegi poole,
11:47
and she confirmed to me
228
695119
2098
kes aga kinnitas,
11:49
there is no funding for secondary education
229
697217
2693
et selles laagris ei jagu raha
11:51
in this camp.
230
699910
2270
keskhariduse pakkumiseks.
11:54
And how I wished at that moment
231
702180
1469
Sel hetkel ei tahtnud ma muud,
11:55
that I could say to her,
232
703649
2318
kui öelda sellele tüdrukule:
11:57
"We will build you a school."
233
705967
2405
"Me ehitame sulle kooli."
12:00
And I also thought, what a waste.
234
708372
4174
Ühtlasi mõtlesin,
milline raiskamine see on.
milline raiskamine see on.
12:04
She should be and she is
235
712546
3048
Ta peaks olema ja on
12:07
the future of Somalia.
236
715594
4331
Somaalia tulevik.
12:11
A boy named Jacob Atem
237
719925
3206
Poisil nimega Jacob Atem
12:15
had a different chance, but not before he experienced
238
723131
3195
oli teistsugune võimalus,
kuid mitte enne seda, kui teda oli tabanud
kuid mitte enne seda, kui teda oli tabanud
12:18
terribly tragedy.
239
726326
2092
kohutav tragöödia.
12:20
He watched — this is in Sudan —
240
728418
2464
Ta nägi – see on Sudaanis –
12:22
as his village — he was only seven years old —
241
730882
2294
kuidas tema küla – ta oli vaid 7-aastane –
12:25
burned to the ground, and he learned
242
733176
2382
põles maani maha
ja ta sai teada,
ja ta sai teada,
12:27
that his mother and his father
243
735558
1839
et tema ema, isa
12:29
and his entire family
244
737397
1989
ja kogu perekond
12:31
were killed that day.
245
739386
1864
hukkus sel päeval.
12:33
Only his cousin survived, and the two of them
246
741250
1790
Ainult tema nõbu jäi ellu ja nad
12:35
walked for seven months —
247
743040
2280
kõndisid kahekesi seitse kuud
12:37
this is boys like him —
248
745320
1850
– need on nendesarnased poisid –
12:39
chased and pursued by wild
animals and armed gangs,
animals and armed gangs,
249
747170
3208
põigeldes metsloomade
ja relvastatud jõuduke eest,
ja relvastatud jõuduke eest,
12:42
and they finally made it to refugee camps
250
750378
2360
ning jõudsid lõpuks pagulaslaagriteni,
12:44
where they found safety,
251
752738
1533
kust nad leidsid turvatunde,
12:46
and he would spend the next seven years
252
754271
2123
ja nad veetsid järgmised seitse aastat
12:48
in Kenya in a refugee camp.
253
756394
3187
Keenia pagulaslaagris.
12:51
But his life changed
254
759581
2528
Tema elu muutus
12:54
when he got the chance to be resettled
255
762109
2103
kui talle pakuti võimalust minna
12:56
to the United States,
256
764212
2205
Ameerikasse,
12:58
and he found love in a foster family
257
766417
2696
kus armastav kasupere ta vastu võttis
13:01
and he was able to go to school,
258
769113
2588
ja kus ta sai võimaluse minna kooli
13:03
and he wanted me to share with you
259
771701
2294
ja ta tahtis, et ma jagaksin teiega
13:05
this proud moment
260
773995
1568
seda uhket hetke,
13:07
when he graduated from university.
261
775563
2305
mil ta lõpetas ülikooli.
13:09
(Applause)
262
777868
3942
(Aplaus)
13:15
I spoke to him on Skype the other day,
263
783829
2414
Ma rääkisin temaga hiljuti Skype'is,
13:18
and he was in his new university in Florida
264
786243
4994
ta oli parasjagu Floridas ülikoolis,
13:23
pursuing his Ph.D. in public health,
265
791237
2999
kus ta omandab
avaliku tervishoiu doktorikraadi
avaliku tervishoiu doktorikraadi
13:26
and he proudly told me how he was able to raise
266
794236
3070
ja ta ütles mulle uhkusega,
et tal õnnestus koguda
et tal õnnestus koguda
13:29
enough funds from the American public
267
797306
2684
ameeriklastelt piisavalt toetusi,
13:31
to establish a health clinic back in his village
268
799990
4585
et rajada oma kodukülla
13:36
back home.
269
804575
3080
kliinik.
13:39
So I want to take you back to Hany.
270
807655
3284
Ma pöördun korraks tagasi Hany poole.
13:42
When I told him I was going to have the chance
271
810939
2221
Kui ma ütlesin talle,
et mul avaneb võimalus
et mul avaneb võimalus
13:45
to speak to you here on the TED stage,
272
813160
2717
kõneleda teie ees TEDi laval,
13:47
he allowed me to read you a poem
273
815877
2295
lubas ta mul lugeda teile ühe luuletuse,
13:50
that he sent in an email to me.
274
818172
3360
mille ta mulle meili teel saatis.
13:53
He wrote:
275
821532
2917
Ta kirjutas:
13:57
"I miss myself,
276
825270
2560
"Ma igatsen iseend,
13:59
my friends,
277
827830
2505
oma sõpru,
14:02
times of reading novels or writing poems,
278
830335
4255
raamatute lugemist
ja luuletuste kirjutamist,
ja luuletuste kirjutamist,
14:06
birds and tea in the morning.
279
834590
4925
linde ja hommikust tassikest teed.
14:11
My room, my books, myself,
280
839515
4949
Oma tuba, raamatuid, iseend
14:16
and everything that was making me smile.
281
844464
5658
ja kõike, mis mulle naeratuse näole tõi.
14:22
Oh, oh, I had so many dreams
282
850122
4128
Oi-oi, mul oli hulganisti unistusi,
14:26
that were about to be realized."
283
854250
3546
mis kõik ootasid oma hetke."
14:31
So here is my point:
284
859323
2228
Minu sõnum on järgmine:
14:33
Not investing in refugees
285
861551
2046
pagulastesse mitte investeerimine
14:35
is a huge missed opportunity.
286
863597
5644
on tohutu käest lastud võimalus.
14:41
Leave them abandoned,
287
869241
1851
Kui me jätame nad hüljatuks,
14:43
and they risk exploitation and abuse,
288
871092
5347
siis nad riskivad ärakasutamise
ja kuritarvitamisega,
ja kuritarvitamisega,
14:48
and leave them unskilled and uneducated,
289
876439
3273
kui jätame nad oskuste ja hariduseta,
14:51
and delay by years the return
290
879712
2553
lükkub aastate võrra edasi
nende naasemine koduriiki,
nende naasemine koduriiki,
14:54
to peace and prosperity in their countries.
291
882265
5850
rahu jalule seadmine
ja elujärje parandamine.
ja elujärje parandamine.
15:00
I believe how we treat the uprooted
292
888115
3284
Ma usun siiralt, et see,
kuidas me kohtleme kodudest pagendatuid,
kuidas me kohtleme kodudest pagendatuid,
15:03
will shape the future of our world.
293

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.
