John, thank you for your compassion and for helping refugees and displaced families survive, recover and rebuild their lives.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—so I wanted to share a few that show the direct impact of your kindness and support. 💛

Children should be able to be children—no matter where they are or what they're living through. Here are just a few places where you're helping make that possible:

đź“Ť GAZA
 
Children sit in a circle clapping.

At the Basmet Amal Center in Khan Younis, kids are able to laugh, learn and connect, while caregivers are offered guidance on positive parenting and mental well-being. These sessions offer vital relief and connection for families navigating the challenges of displacement.

đź“Ť UKRAINE

In a remote village in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, children are growing up without a school or a safe place to gather. The IRC team held 12 psychosocial support sessions to give kids a much-needed outlet to learn, connect, and express themselves. By the end, many asked if the team would come back—recognizing how meaningful and necessary this support is in their lives.

đź“Ť MALI

In Gao, Mali, the IRC is delivering flexible learning for children displaced by conflict. A mix of accelerated learning, pathways from Quranic schools, individual support and remedial classes led by our partners Azhar are helping to ensure education is safe and inclusive for children with a range of different experiences.
 
 
I hope these photos brighten your day as much as they did mine. 💛
