World Refugee Day 2015 – Ordinary people living through extraordinary times

Writen by sadataley 5:11 PM - 0 Comments

Many people who are today refugees once had relatively ordinary lives. They went to school, pursued careers, played sports, worshipped, farmed, enjoyed the company of family and friends and dreamed of bright futures. Until the moment natural disaster, conflict or persecution forced them to flee. The World Refugee Day 2015 theme "Refugees. Ordinary people living through extraordinary times" calls on people living in peace and stability to remember that shared humanity. The Lutheran World Federation provides relief to refugees and internally displaced people. The LWF World Service has programs in 32 African, Asian and Latin American countries, touching the lives of more than 2 million people in some of the most challenging environments. LWF support will never replicate what people once had but it does enable them to live in as dignified a manner as possible. To make this happen, we need your continued financial support.
