Refugee Drive

My calling on the public affairs committee had me involved in a special project. This sweet sister in our stake wanted to help refugees. On her own she put together a household supply drive for refugees living in the Portland area. My other friend, also in our stake and a stranger to this woman, put together a free concert of classical music and inspiring narratives to increase awareness and understanding for refugees and immigrants. Knowing about both of these special community efforts we put the two in touch with each other and helped with the promotion of the beautiful community experience that culminating in this supply drive today. I have been touched by the way these busy mothers have felt inspired to reach out and actually do something about it. There's a lot of goodness in the world today.
