Volunteer Story

Their future is uncertain, and their past is gone forever.

I organized parents; Ben organized students and faculty.

One person can make a difference.

I graduate in June. I’m not going to leave working with refugees behind.

“I decided then and there I wanted to become involved in helping refugees.”

… we were interacting with the refugees on a one-to-one basis

It’s the situation that is the horrible… thing. It’s not the people in it.

What we try to hand out is [empathy from] a human to a human.

People were … going up and down in their daily lives, not noticing, not seeing.

Our inherent value and worth as human beings.

Watch me fold this plane…

Art to help refugees

Our greatest weapon against all workers of terror is love.

They live in uncertainty, but are remarkably resilient and cheerful in bad conditions. They hold up the best they can, and cling to the most important things - loved ones, faith, and hope.
