When the American doctors came for a visit they wanted to see if they could reach out to some of the most needy refugee families in our region. After a few phone calls we were directed towards a Yazidi enclave of 16 families that were staying in an upper valley in makeshift accommodations and a few unfinished homes.
Instantly something struck our heart about these people, and we started playing games with the kids all around.
A couple weeks later we returned with a kerosene tanker to fill them up with enough kerosene for the next month. They had been gathering sticks in the hill sides to heat themselves, but now they can really get the warmth they need.
Please keep these needy families in your prayers as winter begins to settle in.
Firewood collected from the hills that they don't have to use for a little while, hopefully.
