My concern is the people who have to flee their homes and arrive at Refugee camps with absolutely nothing. It's happening right now in Syria / Jordan. Until the conflict is resolved, these people need food and shelter. Raising awareness about this and providing aid are the most important things.
A good friend of mine has worked at a Refugee Camp for MSF. His stories really motivated me to do something!
