More than two hundred people gathered at La Jolla Presbyterian Church to celebrate World Refugee Day Tuesday. The celebration included several speakers, a fashion show, and a silent auction.
“There are over 110 million refugees around the world that are facing a difficult time,” said Walter Lam, President and CEO of the local non-profit, Alliance for African Assistance. “This is a day we need to focus on them, pay attention to what is going on in their lives and also work towards making a difference to bring peace around the world.”
