I wanted to share this video from The Syrian Fund. It’s a non-profit organization started by New Yorker’s Lexi Shereshewsky and Demetri Blaisdell. In a time of intense division both here and abroad, the couple is striving to make a difference in the refugee crisis effecting Syria.
Focused on helping refugees in Mafraq and Azraq – cities in Jordan that have large numbers of refugees living outside of UN refugee camps – the couple have set two immediate organizational goals:
- Building education facilities to provide access to children who have missed years of school.
- Purchasing and distributing material goods including household items, medical supplies, and food packages.
Find out more about the important humanitarian issues in Syria by watching the video above and visiting their website, TheSyrianFund.org.
