It's easy to look at an issue and dismiss it if it doesn't have an immediate personal impact. It's a lot more difficult to get involved and be an advocate for something many don't understand. We honor those that do just that - advocate. Get involved by being an advocate. You can do this by speaking out against war and speaking about the affects of war; by speaking against xenophobia, islamophobia; against the stigmas and stereotypes projected onto Middle Eastern men, women, and children. Spread awareness by sharing information with your family and social circles. Organize your own project, fundraise, motivate, and continue to spread awareness. Volunteer for your local organizations that help refugees settle in your area, or for organizations that help provide outreach on an international scale. There are so many creative approaches to becoming involved. A very easy way to be involved is to donate to THE WELCOME HOME PROJECT directly. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS and directly impacts the lives of individuals suffering from the results of war.
