Locking Up Refugee Children in Detention Centres

What are the impact on children, especially if they are separated from their parents? This year, Voice of the Children and Suara Kanak-kanak organized a youth camp where 23 Malaysian and refugee children spend a weekend together to give them a chance to learn about each other's lives.
