Persuasive Speech On Syrian Refugees

524 Words3 Pages

Hello Friends and Family,

As most of you already know, I have moved to Turkey temporarily to be with my love, Emrem. But before I moved here, I was searching for a grassroots effort to help Syrian refugees and came up empty.

We all see the terrible footage online and I know we want to donate but larger NGOs or nonprofits often leave us wondering how much of our donations actually make it to those in need. But wonder no more!

Thanks to an amazing Hungarian-Romanian Teacher, Zsusza Nago, this gap has been closed. She has single-handedly established a network with the refugees and I admire her so much for it so I would love to help her raise money of which 100% goes directly to the those in need. She takes no money for herself or her overhead. …show more content…

Turkey has absorbed 3 million Syrian refugees and their road to employment is arduous. The latest conflict area, Idlib was just infiltrated by friendly forces last week and the conflict has caused many to flee to Turkey. They have arrived with only what they could carry on their backs so have absolutely nothing to start their new lives. Some families sleep on dirt floors, can 't produce milk for their babies or afford formula, it 's really heart-wrenching.

Unfortunately, there aren 't many official paths for refugees to get things like in US (e.g. GoodWill, Salvation Army), so they solely rely on donations and the money they earn from doing odd jobs. They need things like beds, dressers, fridges and washing machines (there are no laundrymats here) in addition to food and water.

I am asking (begging) my network to help. 100% of any money donated here will go directly to the refugees in the form of gift cards for BIM (the local Aldi), and transportation for the large donated items (beds, fridges, etc). I 've set the goal pretty low but $200 would buy 15 gift cards. Each gift card would be with 50 Turkish Lira which is about $13 USD and that is enough to feed a family for 2

    The CCC community felt motivated to respond in Christian charity to the conditions represented by recent events in Syria, and to make plans for entering into a sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family. At the time of our last PC meeting, two Cathedral initiatives were involved with early stages of sponsorship planning, one through the Cathedral Justice Group, and the other, Vancouver Acts. At that time, PC appraised plans for entering into a refugee sponsorship, and created a sub-committee to work alongside these two efforts, to allow communication, and to offer support and assistance. The Refugee Sub-Committee organized to meet its purpose over the last month. Today, PC is invited to review its actions, and assess current recommended strategies for co-sponsoring a Syrian refugee family.

While the current situation is not being funded by the Syrian or African government, it is still better than sleeping on the streets of a foreign country in Europe. The commonalities between the situations can also give the people a peace of mind by seeing how the United States has rebounded from this disaster. The United States is currently stepping into the situation across seas helping people rebound from the horrific scene. There are people who are overjoyed by the opportunities that the United

After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture.

  • Martin Luther King: The Dehumanization Of Syrian Refugees

    826 Words  | 4 Pages

    Approximately 4.8 million refugees have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq. Additionally, 6.6 million refugees are internally displaced inside of Syria. Most of these refugees are being treated as if they aren’t equal members of society, their rights are being stripped from them and they are being dehumanized through various poor treatment. Martin Luther King fought for the freedom of black people because they weren’t being given fair rights as equal human beings, they were being seen as lower than society, which is exactly what is happening to Syrian refugees. In some cases refugees aren’t only being treated as if they aren’t equal contributing members of society, but they are being completely disregarded in general.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Refugees

    Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

    These are all things that people in refugee camps around the world could only dream of. Unfortunately we cannot help all of the refugees in the world, but if we can help just a few it will make a difference. We can help out by providing funds to organisations like the UN and also by raising awareness for the refugees. We can also educate our children about the conditions that the refugees have to live in and how they can raise awareness and support for the cause. These are all viable ways to raise awareness for the refugees, but that does not guarantee that they will be helped.

When multitudes of people migrate to one country, that country would, in turn, become extremely pressured. “The pressures caused by massive influxes of people can be overwhelming”(“What's Driving the Global Refugee Crisis?”). Every year, Germany alone spends 21.7 billion dollars on anything which is refugee related, and with oncoming demand in Germany, this number continues to grow higher. The European Refugee Crisis has also displaced nine million Syrians’ homes, making it troublesome for countries to house them.
