Who is a Refugee
Although the concept of seeking refuge in a Holy place has existed for thousands of years, the current term of refugee stems from the conflicts, hostilities, and mass forced migrations of the 20th century.
The United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 clearly established a definition of a refugee in response to the many people affected by World War II. The definition of a legal refugee was subsequently expanded by the Convention’s 1967 Protocol and by regional conventions in Africa (1969) and Latin America (1984).

A refugee is a person who is outside their country of origin because they have suffered persecution and cannot safely return home because of these circumstances. In order to qualify as a refugee a person must have endured persecution on account of:
• Race,
• Religion,
• Nationality,
• Political opinion,
• Being a member of a persecuted social group.
This is a simplified version of the UNHCR definition of who a refugee is; please see the UNHCR site for the complete legal understanding of refugee conditions.
Today war, famine, civil unrest, economic and environmental disasters have caused unprecedented numbers of displaced people across the globe. UNHCR has identified three durable solutions for refugees: voluntary repatriation, local integration, and resettlement to a third country. Through the third solution, resettlement, AURA works determinedly to help as many refugees as possible.
It is important to understand not everyone who leaves their country of origin will be classified as a refugee. Migrants, especially economic migrants, are people who choose to move in order to improve their and their family’s future prospects. Refugees are forced to move in order to save their lives or preserve their freedom. Refugees have no protection from their own governments and it is often their own governments that threaten to persecute them.

S5 Map it With Google
The Map it with Google module is displayed on this page. Simply enter your address and the module uses the Google API to display a map with a marker to the address. A user simply clicks the marker and they are prompted with a popup box to get directions. Clicking “Get Directions” will take you to google maps with your business address already entered so all they have to do is enter their address to get directions. You can also specify the size of the map and whether or not to enable or disable certain controls.
Floating Menu
The floating menu feature is a great way for your users to easily navigate your website! The floating menu will show at the top of your browser once the screen reaches a certain point. You can determine the exact point at which this occurs via the template specific area of Vertex. NOTE: This is a Vertex addition and is not guaranteed to work with all Vertex Templates. Some custom CSS may need to be adjusted per template. This feature is not supported by IE7/8.
Features at a glance:
- Set a background image to the menu, gradient or solid color
- Set to snap or smooth scroll in
- Determine at which point as you scroll down your page that the menu drops in
- and many more features, just check out the screenshot below
Admin area of the floating menu:
Parallax Backgrounds
Parallax backgrounds as well as other background options are built directly into the Vertex Framework. Parallax causes the background image of an element to scroll at a different speed than your browser. For an example of this view the homepage of the Velocity template here and watch the background of the top_row1 area as you scroll down the page. This feature is found under “Backgrounds” tab in Vetex, where you can control the background for many areas of your website.
Features:
- Set the scroll speed of the images
- Set background repeat style
- Set background image size, 100%, cover, contain, etc
- Set custom backgrounds for all s5 rows in the framework.
- Enable or disable parallax on a per row basis
