Sharing what we've learned
Our love for the Husseins has driven us to keep learning and finding ways to support each other through uncertainty, grief, and constant threats. Here we share the resources we are currently learning about and developing.
​
Our goal: Figure out how we can support the Husseins from afar as they 1) endure their current situation, and 2) transition into a safe and free life.
PURPOSEFUL ACTION
Our goal is at the forefront, meeting the violence and cruelty with optimism and care.
MISTAKES ARE OK
Telling it 'as it is' is more important than being perfect or disappointing the team. We are learning.
PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE
Life is unfolding in complex ways that are hard for any one person to control or understand.
BRAVERY
Small purposeful and consistent action can create meaningful change and support.
