During the opening luncheon on 24 January 2007, UNHCR and its business partners briefed international media executives at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos about an innovative way to give voice to many of the world’s millions of refugee children: ninemillion.org

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Antonio Guterres and executives of Nike, Microsoft and Right To Play spoke on behalf of the refugee children, telling their stories or showing video messages of refugee children. The music band the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars performed at the Media Lunch reinforcing the authenticity of the event as they are supporting the ninemillion.org campaign. The band opened the lunch event with the song "Living Like A Refugee" and was given the last word by one of UNHCR’s Council of Business Leaders member, Manpower.
