Our Syrian Wellbeing Initiative (SWI) leadership team continues to meet and develop videos to help educate and encourage our Syrian neighbors in their navigating through this worldwide pandemic. It seems like we may have discovered the greatest challenge for these families during this time. Our Syrian and Middle Eastern friends come from a culture that highly values hospitality, family, and personal relationships, while many of us here in the USA are focused on achievement, success, and gaining knowledge. So we have discovered that the greatest negative impact for them has been the disruption of their normal social interaction. We therefore want to address this challenge for them to help create new avenues of social interaction with one another, to make new friends, to help strengthen their community. What do you think?
Your prayers and support are requested in this endeavour.
