The Mission:Why to WriteAs the Global Refugee Crisis has recently come to light as one of the most severe causes of displacement of families, we believe it is our duty to use the media so readily available to us to help those finding new homes. The pen is the most powerful instigator of change so we write to spread the message.Whether the family is in a tent in a refugee camp across the ocean or a resettlement in Canada we want to record their stories. The best part is you don't have to be over 21, have a license, be the president of UNESCO or be a writer to help. You just have to want to make a change.
