On May 6, Liam Cunningham — the Irish actor best known for portraying Davos Seaworth in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” — traveled with World Vision to Northern Uganda to meet South Sudanese refugees crossing the border into Uganda. The South Sudan refugee crisis is now the fastest-growing refugee crisis in the world.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are more than 900,000 refugees in the West Nile region who have fled the conflict. This number is growing by more than 2,000 refugees daily, with 86% of refugees being women and children.<\/p>\n

During Liam Cunningham’s time in Uganda, he visited World Vision’s programs at Bidi Bidi and Imvepi settlement camps and met with the refugees who now call these places home.<\/p>\n
