Iamaboatperson has the wheels moving on our "Food For Thought" initiative! We are starting up a food stall in Bondi markets which is run by refugees who cook food from their home countries. These are a few photos from our trial cook. We look to celebrate refugees' diversity and culture and to start talking about employment opportunities for refugees. Food is such a connecting experience we share in Australia and we at iamaboatperson want to enrich this. We can't wait for "Food For Thought" to be put in action. - - - - #foodforthought #iamaboatperson #bondi #bondimarkets #food #refugees #culture #loveoffood

At the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in October 2015, confronted with the global refugee crisis that has seen an estimated 68.5 million people in the world displaced, IOC President Thomas Bach announced the creation of the Refugee Olympic Team. They competed in the 2016 Olympic Games and it has been announced they will compete in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. Being able to appreciate and acknowledge such people on a global scale, who come from such backgrounds is truely commendable. We here at iamaboatperson can not wait to see the strength, talent and perseverance these refugees embody. #iamaboatperson #olympics #olympcis2020 #refugees #un #ioc
In a little cafe that’s a popular stop for motorcyclists about to descend down Bumble Hill Rd into Yarramalong Valley, this sign proudly hangs. It’s front and centre where customers pay for their coffees and muffins. What does it mean to the owners of the cafe? “We’re all ‘boat people’ in one way or another. We have all come from somewhere somehow. Let’s not forget that.” #iamaboatperson

Knowing what's happening around the world is imperative for humanity to adapt, compromise and ultimately, evolve. UNHCR are doing amazing things providing informative, factual clips that facilitate this information. We hope you take the time to look at the video and share it to another friend to spread the knowledge. 🙌🙌🤝 - - - - - 🎥: (UNHCR - YouTube) - - - - - #iamaboatperson #knowledge #knowledgeispower #sharetoafriend #information #refugees #withrefugees #southsudan
