I am french and swiss and currently a student in international development at McGill university in Canada. I am interested in humanitarian emergency care and forced migrations. I spent 6 months in Greece and 2 months in Lebanon working with refugees through various projects such as a field kitchen, children’s activities, environmental programs and of course, education initiatives such as the Refugee Library!
