Aid Organizations: Refugee Camps and Islamic State

aid organizations: While aid organizations have been providing food and shelter, children's education has been somewhat overlooked, and that's becoming increasingly important, according to Huffington Post Canada. It's been reported that the Islamic State has been recruiting their next generation of fighters by providing them with their own programs to teach math, grammar and English, as well as their ideologies. Ever since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, millions of men, women and children have had to flee to refugee camps in several other countries. According to Foreign Policy, there are about two million children in these camps, which is why the people behind Sesame Street have joined forces with the International Rescue Committee IRC to bring special educational programming to children in camps. In a piece that she published on Medium in February, Westin highlighted the effect that the Sesame Street has had over the years when it came to providing early childhood education to children across the world. When speaking at Foreign Policy's Culture Summit in Abu Dhabi, Sherrie Rollins Westin, executive vice president of the Sesame Street's nonprofit arm, said that if there are major issues that have an impact on children, we look for where we can make a difference.
