Brasilia, June 5 (RHC) –- Brazil's National Committee for Refugees has taken in approximately 1,900 Syrian refugees who have taken advantage of measures adopted about two years ago that facilitated their entry into the country.

In Latin America, Argentina has accepted the second highest number of Syrian refugees -– a total of 233 -- according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

Refugees from Syria and other countries receive help at the non-governmental Refugee Integration Institute in Sao Paulo. The institute's director, Marcelo Haydu, said the refugees are offered professional and Portuguese-language courses to help them enter the job market.
