Author Khaled Hosseini: "No one chooses to be a refugee"

Khaled Hosseini, in a guest post on USA for UNHCR's Blue Key blog, pointed out that,  "Anyone can be a refugee." No child grows up anticipating they will be forced to leave everything they know and love behind. He certainly didn't.

This year, the UNHCR Goodwill Envoy and acclaimed author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns lends his voice to UNHCR's World Refugee Day global social advocacy campaign, "Dilemmas."

This worldwide effort aims to help fight intolerance and xenophobia against refugees by emphasizing the   heart-wrenching decision one must make when his or her life is at stake.
