<H2>Refugee Road</H2>
<H2>An interactive event exploring the Syrian refugee crisis. </H2>
Hosted at TripAdvisor Headquarters, 400 1st Avenue, Needham Heights, MA 02494
To date, the violence in Syria has forced more than 11 million people to flee their homes. Even with the extensive coverage of this conflict in the news, it is hard for most of us to fully understand the hardships people affected by this crisis must endure. That is why Oxfam, one of the world's leading humanitarian organizations, developed Refugee Road—an interactive experience that provides insights into what life is like for Syrian people.   Our emcees for the event are WBUR reporter Shannon Dooling and Syrian-American author and scholar Dr. Noor Hashem. As part of the event, Oxfam humanitarian experts will share the latest developments surrounding the crisis, including the impact of the recent U.S.Government decisions and what you can do to help.
