Thinking about our fifth team of volunteers who are heading to Athens today. They will meet every refugee family they possibly can in the days they are there. They will work through the day and night to meet every boat that arrives and they will find families in crowds of thousands, communicate mostly without words, and help each of them even if with something simple. They will be my hands, they will give my hugs - your hugs, they will deliver messages of love, support, strength, and perseverance. They will provide relief for weary-armed parents.
I cannot say enough how proud I am, how hopeful for our future as a human family, how comforted I am in knowing so many people have this love and acceptance of each other. I cannot articulate how amazed I am daily by the outpouring of love and support my global community has for our refugee families. This crisis - the biggest one of our time - is not the controversy our leaders make it out to be and our generations are proving that over and over again across the globe. Continue the love, friends. Continue the support. Continue the humanity.
Thank you!
