I’m back from Beirut, where I presented a workshop on resilience to the Blue Marists, a group of laywomen, laymen and brothers serving refugees in war-ravaged Aleppo, Syria. I’ve been following stories in the media about the suffering refugees are enduring on their dangerous journey to what they hope is a better future. Amazingly, I’ve seen little about caregivers who have remained in Syria to provide aid and comfort to those who are hungry, thirsty and urgently need medicine.
