UNHCR uses this temporary housing units in several camps around the world, such as Roraima, Brazil. The testimonials at the exhibition are written by people from nine different countries, including Syria. Their accounts talk about the reason why they feel at home in Brazilian soil. For Ghazal Baranbo from Damasco, the most affectionate reminder of her homeland comes when her relatives visit her on Fridays. The 37-years-old is a refugee in Brazil with her husband and children. \u201cWatching my kids grow healthy makes me feel at home in Brazil,\u201d she says in her testimonial at the exhibition.<\/p>\n
