One Amazing Thing I've Done
I worked with Yazidi refugees in the Kurdish Region of Iraq for 2 months. I learned so much about them and their struggle. A true life changing experience to be with people who have lost so much but still smile and welcome you like a member of their family. Recently wrote an article about their struggle.

It was such a beautiful place and an amazing experience. Loved it. Click the link to check it out - http://www.beyond.fr/sites/verdon.html
