In September 2007, U.N. aid workers gave video cameras to 30 Somali children who had been uprooted by fighting in Mogadishu and asked them to capture their daily life in settlements for displaced people.

The children talked of food and shelters, of clothes and education. They dreamed of being doctors, teachers and pilots. They spoke of their desire for peace.

The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, estimates that 1 million people have been displaced inside Somalia. This video initiative was carried out by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
