Our mission to connect more communities with refugee newcomers has never been so important. With a new wave of UNHCR-referred refugees waiting to be matched with local community groups in the next 3 months, we’re setting a goal for our team and those compassionate, dedicated Aussies that want to do good: 100 new support groups in 100 days. Each day over the next 100 days, we’ll be sharing personal reflections and stories about the power of community sponsorship. Stories that highlight human kindness, the connections and bonds formed from the CRISP, and the good that still exists in the world. Help us get to 100.
