Summary:
"25 Million Sparks is a powerful story of hope - a beautiful reminder of our equal dignity, common humanity, and brilliant potential for innovation. It sheds light on the brutal injustices of war and violence - while celebrating refugees' records of uplifting communities, generating transformative ideas, and creating peace even amid disaster. Hanna's captivating human-centered narration of the stories of three women entrepreneurs in the Za'atari camp allows their voices to be heard clearly. These stories, along with others across the globe, are illustrative of the resilience and the power of refugees - and particularly of refugee women - to heal, lead, and advance communities around the world... if only the world recognizes, listens to, and invests in them appropriately."-- Provided by publisher.
