World Refugee Day proper
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 2:26PM I'd like to share three videos with you today.
One is the UNHCR Global Trends report for 2011.
The next is a video of the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars who are performing at World Refugee Day events today.
And this is a video called 6 Voices for 6 Decades. It's a promotional video for the work of UNHCR, but they capture the stories of refugees over the years, and it's incredibly moving.
All of us at OMB are taking a few moments today to be grateful for each other, to be grateful for all of you, and to be grateful for how fortunate we are. We're renewing our commitment to work to help make a difference in the lives of people across the world who have had so much taken away from them, and we're celebrating their strength and beauty.
Take a few moments to take an action in support of refugees today. CARE International, one of our partners in the Students Rebuild with the One Million Bones project challenge, does amazing work. You can make a bone and send it to us, and it will generate a dollar donation. You can gather a group, register at Students Rebuild and make 100 bones, and it will generate a $100 dollar donation. Basically, every bone that is made for One Million Bones will generate a dollar for CARE's work in the DRC and Somalia, up to $500,000. It's an excellent way to show your support.
