I woke up thinking of refugees. The fear and helplessness that filled my dream was the waking nightmare for millions of women just like me. How could I help? They were so far away!
At the Women's Session of the general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, the women of our church introduced a new program called, "I was a stranger." Here is the webpage that explains it and gives suggestions of how to help.

And here is a video that explains why we are interested in helping:
The next week, at our general conference, Elder Patrick Kearon gave this address explaining the problem, why we should help, and what we are doing.
I hope that I will figure out the right way to help. I hope that, one day, no one will be a refuge.
