The Refugee Camps: Day 4 of Spreading Hope and Good Cheer
The work is never done when we serve others, but the joy is limitless. Dr. Sarah Franklin, founder of and her team of volunteers are no strangers in witnessing the struggles of these refugee families and yet their hope and courage continues.
While Hope Humanitarian's goal is always to bring hope to others, the beauty and surprise in these moments of giving comes from the hope that the refugees actually give back to the volunteers because of their perseverance in the face of difficulty, and their positive attitude.
Please enjoy these little photos of the day together with these special people. I will share a multiple posts for Day 4 as I caught some wonderful moments. As you will see in the photos, the gift of giving yourself brings hope to others, but surprisingly increases your own hope as well.
Read on their website, "An Assistant Professor of Cardiology at the University of Utah, passionate humanitarian and adventure lover, Dr. Franklin started Hope Humanitarian in May 2016 in response to the world's refugee crisis. Service has always been an important part of her life, whether it is caring for abused animals, researching heart disease to be able to decrease cardiac-related deaths, or helping as many people as possible, in as many places as possible through Hope Humanitarian... Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" Hope Humanitarian seeks to answer that question by serving those in acute need and by offering the opportunity for volunteers to join us in humanitarian trips."
