The Jesuit Refugee Service youth program at Mai Aini Refugee Camp in northeastern Ethiopia serves young refugees from neighboring Eritrea. The program provides a library, music and arts training, and opportunities to participate in soccer, volleyball and basketball. JRS works with the primary and secondary schools at the camp to coordinate activities, giving youngsters a chance to participate in social activities after school hours.
