DOING an in-house documentary for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was an eye-opener for former beauty queen Deborah Priya Henry, who met a family of Somali refugees during the shoot.

“The children were aged between 11 and 14 with no access to education. They had witnessed the effects of war back home,” said Deborah.
