This week we are sharing a beautiful 360 story by the award-winning author, Khaled Hosseini.
Khaled wrote Sea Prayer as a way to commemorate the anniversary of the passing of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian child who drowned while attempting to cross the Mediterranean to safety in 2015. It has been 5 years since the poem was published, but now more than ever it is worth watching and soaking in.
Refugees, asylum seekers & immigrants are people. They are worthy of love, kindness and compassion just like you and I. They are no different to you or I. Only that their homes are no longer safer than the water that crashes against the sand.
“Refugees are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, with the same hopes and ambitions as us — except that a twist of fate has bound their lives to a global refugee crisis on an unprecedented scale.” – Khaled Hosseini
Thank you, as always, for standing with immigrants at Casa. Your support means the world.
