5:25 pm
logistically challenging. or ted x. event that was ever staged so but it's definitely going to be one of the most moving because the speakers are just absolutely incredible and one of them is here with us today. well melissa one of the signs of what you just mentioned that this is going to be incredible is the buzz online because it's almost palpable this is collins on twitter who says text means a lot it has been well received with lots of excitement and the main reason is that being an old camp of over twenty five years the risk of its people being forgotten are real as new emergencies come up ted x. will show the world what is made of her name i want to give that to you because you were born in the camp what does it feel like for you to go back for the first time and why did you say yes to tax. i said yes to tax. i mean. i didn't think that. it could
5:26 pm

5:27 pm
the same community that they live in right now. i think around some exciting time you know like a lot of girls follow my journey not just muslim girls really young girls will come from maybe similar backgrounds i think that's why my journey has been so impossible to many people because everybody kind of can relate to it from a different point of view i got girls from a small town of let's say wisconsin who could relate to being from a small town and like making in the fashion industry and then i get a lot of girls from the muslim community a lot of job working women who tell me how grateful that they are to finally you know. it's amazing like i can't even believe how much has changed i think like two years ago i could never pick up a magazine and look through the emphatically ages and see somebody that just like me and just a little over a year and a half raised nine covers so it's been quite
5:28 pm
a journey really listening to this and listening to this day she's an idea of a text in cooma kept this is somewhere that you've been visiting you've been studying for the last decade when you first heard of the idea what was your reaction i thought it was a great idea so it was a fantastically dear because it's some could. actually actually plague me that we have a conception of refugees as hopeless and yet actually one of the most well studied terms in the would there be an academic's of greece which is what my so going i was one of the first few people to go with. it if it holds you because you actually see you with a devotee. rendered prayer and that's what was taught x is going to do because what it's going to do is it's going to speak about. please but seems to be all of this
5:29 pm
but it's going to speak about success and it's also going to talk about you with resilience the human fighting spirit in the worst of temperatures sometimes in the biggest of despair so i want to give our viewers who are not to feel you're familiar with. a little taste from our online audience of what life is like there this is spread who says could come as a camp made up mainly of young people about sixty percent of the population is under eighteen years of age in the camp residents are inspired by the tough life in the camp to identify other coping mechanisms i.e. small businesses fashion sports performing arts and education now with that said we got a video comment from someone who explains that the camp has changed over the years this is a delight he mirror a and he is now in cookoo my he's an independent journalist and he's there for this weekend have a listen to what he told the stream committed you come in with the. amount
