Great Love
Just wanted to take a moment and post this link to a beautiful story! This video was originilly featured on ABC about an organization called Mapendo, meaning "great love" in Swahili. Mapendo's mission is "to fill the critical and unmet needs of people affected by war and conflict who have fallen through the net of humanitarian assistance. This commitment is expressed through targeting individuals, families and groups of people overlooked by existing aid programs. Mapendo strives to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and health, and to raise awareness for these vulnerable people. For example, Mapendo might help minors who have been separated from their parents or caretakers. Mapendo works to reunite families in these situations and has partnered with CRIS to achieve this several times. To read more please click here.
