President Gauck Visits Refugees In Magdeburg

MAGDEBURG, GERMANY - DECEMBER 12: Refugees Luan (R) from Vietnam and Jose Manuel from Portugal (L) who arrived in Germany without family members train in wood-working techniques with training instructor Detlef Korduan (C) at a job-training center on December 12, 2014 in Magdeburg, Germany. The refugees training program is sponsored by the Catholic Church and provides German language courses as well as job training in fields such as textiles, agriculture and wood-working. Germany is accepting a record-number of refugees this year, including from war-torn Syria as well as Iraq, Afghanistan and northern Africa, and German authorities are struggling to provide adequate housing and facilities.
