The taekwondo federation and the United Nation’s refugee agency signed an agreement to promote the Korean martial art to thousands of refugees in the Middle East, Asia and Europe. With help from UNHCR, the WTF will provide coaches and equipment for refugees in Colombia, Ethiopia, Ghana and Greece. The federation already has provided this program at two camps for Syrian refugees — Kilis in Turkey and Zaatari in Jordan. / Courtesy of World Taekwondo Federation
