I recommend this for you to see this Ted Talk: Don't feel sorry for refugees ~ believe in them
Luma shares her life journey in a powerful way.
She shares valuable comments
"Don't ever think that people are beneath you or that you have nothing to learn from others."
"I thought it would get better.
That no one could force me from me to leave.
Thay no one could take my home from me.
We left because we had to, not because we wanted to
There was no choice"
"The issue shouldn't be stopping refugees coming into our countries.
The issue should be not forcing them to leave their own".
"Not only do we shame, blame and reject them for atrocities they have absolutely nothing to do with,
we re-traumatise them when we are supposed to be welcoming them into our countries."
"We have seen advances in every aspect of our lives except our humanity."
By sharing her life journey she enabled me to learn and to grow both my empathy for others and my humanity
Ultimately, we help others, not by doing for them nor feeling sorry for them but by providing them with opportunities to enable them to find their own solutions and to believe that they will, with our support, find those solutions.
