Seeking peace, losing everything

(Voir plus bas pour la version française)Hi!As you probably know, this summer I spent a month in Tel Abbas, North Lebanon, living with other Operation Dove volunteers inside a camp for Syrian refugees.But to speak "simply" of refugeesǝ is not appropriate. They are, first of all, people, men, women and children, deprived of every fundamental right, who fled from a country where the outbreak of war imposed a clear choice: either you kill or you will be killed. In order not to submit to the logic of violence, they chose to leave, to lose everything. They sought peace and found themselves living in tents made of nylon and cardboard. They became refugees.Today, now physically far from the camp in Tel Abbas, I would like to try to continue to support the presence of Operation Dove in Lebanon (for info click here) by launching this fundraiser. If you want to help me to support the project in a concrete way, you can make a donation: every contribution, even a small one, will help me to reach my goal (800 euro by the end of the year!). Otherwise, help me by spreading the link to the collection!I thank you for your trust and your help.GretaCoucou!Comme tu le sais probablement, cet été j'ai passé un mois à Tel Abbas, au Nord du Liban, en vivant avec d'autres bénévoles d'Operazione Colomba dans un camp de réfugié.e.s syrien.ne.s.Mais parler " tout simplement " de réfugié.e.s n'est pas approprié.

Hi!

As you probably know, this summer I spent a month in Tel Abbas, North Lebanon, living with other Operation Dove volunteers inside a camp for Syrian refugees.

But to speak "simply" of refugeesǝ is not appropriate. They are, first of all, people, men, women and children, deprived of every fundamental right, who fled from a country where the outbreak of war imposed a clear choice: either you kill or you will be killed. In order not to submit to the logic of violence, they chose to leave, to lose everything. They sought peace and found themselves living in tents made of nylon and cardboard. They became refugees.


Today, now physically far from the camp in Tel Abbas, I would like to try to continue to support the presence of Operation Dove in Lebanon (for info click here) by launching this fundraiser. If you want to help me to support the project in a concrete way, you can make a donation: every contribution, even a small one, will help me to reach my goal (800 euro by the end of the year!). Otherwise, help me by spreading the link to the collection!


I thank you for your trust and your help.

Coucou!

Comme tu le sais probablement, cet été j'ai passé un mois à Tel Abbas, au Nord du Liban, en vivant avec d'autres bénévoles d'Operazione Colomba dans un camp de réfugié.e.s syrien.ne.s.

Mais parler " tout simplement " de réfugié.e.s n'est pas approprié. It is a matter, first and foremost, of people, men, women and children deprived.e.s of a fundamental right, part.e.s of a country where the outbreak of war has imposed a very clear choice: either you will be tortured or you will be tortured. Ils sont parti.e.s chercher la paix et se sont retrouvé.e.s à vivre dans des tentes de nylon et de carton. Ils sont devenu.e.s réfugié.e.s.
