Folks,
Did you see this Sunday's New York Times?

Nicholas Kristof wrote:

"A nightmare for global health experts is the coronavirus racing through refugee camps like Dadaab in Kenya, near the Somalia border, with more than 200,000 people, or through the vast camps of displaced people in Syria or Yemen.

If that happens, and it may be just a matter of time, the International Rescue Committee will be on the front lines, fighting to save lives. Founded at the suggestion of Albert Einstein, the IRC is a gold-standard organization working in some of the toughest neighborhoods around the globe.

Last month the IRC announced an initiative to address the coronavirus worldwide, including in migrant camps on the Mexican side of the United States border. Many people there are asylum seekers from Central America who have been pushed into Mexico, perhaps illegally, by the Trump administration and are easy prey for gangs and viruses alike.

The IRC trains volunteers who work with churches and community leaders to try to limit the pandemic in this vulnerable population. As the son of a refugee, I feel particular admiration for an aid group that tries to save the lives of people who have already endured so much."


Please, rush your gift to help us mitigate the spread of coronavirus and maintain our current programs in crisis zones worldwide. »
