		When the UNHCR asked me in 1986 if I might be interested to work together with them as a Goodwill Ambassador I, like most people in the world had little idea about who the UNHCR was or what the UNHCR did.
		It is, however, the courage and dignity of the refugees themselves, particularly the women, who together with the children make up 80% of the refugee population, that have inspired me to continue in spite of obstacles and the difficulty of the task.
		Now that the civil war has ended the UNHCR is in the process of helping them to repatriate after more than 40 years in exile even though the situation in the DRC is not as stable as one would wish.

		And for the last 12 years I've been working as goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR, and in that time I have become quite attached to the cause of refugees, and particularly to the solutions for refugees.
		However, you know that UNHCR has been very worried and concerned over the weekend at the new displacement of people in Kosovo, where we estimate that over the 48 hours Saturday and Sunday, there were over 20,000 people who were displaced from their homes.
		And we still have access to people who are displaced, except in areas where there is ongoing fighting, so that's also a very fragile situation because we do not fully have access to everyone and especially not to those who have been just displaced because of the fighting, that's the places where we can't reach.
