We’ve had a busy couple of months, and we hope to provide updates in coming weeks summarizing everything going on out here. Specifically, we’ve now had over half a dozen separate relief events and outreaches in cities throughout Syria impacted by the February 2023 earthquake that killed over 50,000 people and left…(Read More)
While the devastation of the Turkey/Syria quake that killed over 50,000 people in February is slowly fading from international news media, the ongoing plight of the millions of homeless and displaced quake victims is still a very present reality for our team.
