The director of Google.org wrote in a blog post: "As they make it through a dangerous journey, the first thing refugees need is to find shelter, food and access to care. But soon enough, they have to learn the local language, acquire skills to work in a new country and figure out a way to continue their studies — all in an effort to reclaim and reconnect with the lives they had before."
