Week in Review – World Refugee Week
What do you know about Refugees?
“Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right.
Everyone has the right to life and liberty.
Everyone has the right to freedom from fear.
Everyone has the right to seek asylum from persecution.
These human rights don’t change based on race, religion,
sex or nationality. Human rights don’t change based on
whether you seek safety by land, air or sea.”
– Craig Foster
Every day is a day to support our community. Here at Sienna we give a monthly donation to UNICEF but there are many ways to support those in the world seeking asylum.
