Other refugees in the 60-second ad include Sudanese-born model Alek Wek, Chilean writer Isabel Allende, Canadian rapper Keinaan and sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

"Perhaps we can contribute something to breaking the negative stereotype of refugees as a burden by showing the positive side, by showing the success stories," U.N. spokesman Hans Thoolen said.
