How To Do Social Good In Times Of Tremendous Challenges

Social good...

Something that I strived for since I can remember - a little girl with eyes full of wonder. But later they turned into something I never imagined could happen, they became:

Eyes of a refugee.

At the end of the 20th century, I experienced the unspeakable.

Overnight, instead of going to a concert and then to school the next day, I was forced to go to a shelter. My new normal was volunteering at the local Red Cross and supporting people in need. I witnessed atrocities inflicted by yesterday's friends, neighbors, community members.

There were so many refugees. 

And before I knew it, I became a refugee too!

A painful, long journey eventually led me to the USA after living in four different countries, away from family and all alone.

As I quickly experienced Corporate America, Non-Profit, and Government sectors, ultimately led me to continue working with refugees from more than 120 countries.

More than half of the world was affected during the last 30 years. Hard to compute and accept.

Through this journey, I heard the echo of hundreds of thousands of voices sharing the same message:

➡️ Why is this happening? 

➡️ Why are we being treated this way? 

➡️ Why can't we all live peacefully? 

So many questions that many refugees are seeking answers to this day.

Sadly, today we are facing yet another challenge and we need more than ever your support.

As a host of On The Frontlines with Ukraine Now, powered by Transmit Media and in collaboration with Sola Adenekan, I am sharing in this first episode of a personal story of the founder of Ukraine Now, Arthur Kiulian, and his tremendous efforts to help his people and country during their greatest need.

In times when we are called to serve and support, not only do we show up and step up but we also engage, impact, influence, and lead the way.

To support, volunteer, and/or donate through a global decentralized effort to help Ukrainians and other nations deal with the humanitarian crisis and consequences of a brutal invasion, go to Ukraine Now. As of today, less than a month since the war started, this organization is rapidly growing with over 2375 volunteers comprised from over 20 countries, with an active ongoing rescue mission.

To support with the shipments, volunteering, and/or donations of medical supplies urgently needed in Ukraine and other hot spots in different parts of the world, go to Project C.U.R.E. As of today, this powerful organization shipped 2,401 containers of the medical supply, powered by 146,500 annual volunteer hours by serving 135 countries.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead

To support refugees during the current global crises, ranging from 

• Ukraine, with over 3 million refugees that left the country since the war started on February 24th
• Syria with over 5 million externally displaced refugees
• Afghanistan, with 2.2 million externally displeased refugees to this day as well other countries

You also may want to consider supporting these additional organizations that I worked with in the past with their ongoing global efforts:

• International Rescue Committee
• International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC
• Save the Children International
•  United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
•  United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

Champions, thank you for your support and donations during the times of greatest need.

Let's Live, Lead & Leave A Great Legacy!
