The groundbreaking #FamilyIs campaign - a collaboration between Refugees United, Church World Service and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) - kicks off tomorrow (Nov. 19) at 7AM PST/10AM EST. The campaign will reunite refugee families, live on Google+, right in time for the holidays.
In the inaugural #FamilyIs Hangouts On Air, a Congolese man living in Kenya and his uncle in the United states will see each other for the first time in 7 years. RSVP to the event and check back here in the morning, 'cause you'll be able to stream the entire event right here!
RYOT NOTE: Refugees United is a non-profit independent organization with the mission of reconnecting thousands of separated refugee families across the globe. Today, there are an estimated 43 million refugees and internally displaced people worldwide, a staggering percentage of which have lost family members or friends in their escape from natural disasters, political persecutions or armed conflicts.
