We all watch the news, see the depressing refugee crises. What do we do? Curse at the global establishments? Tweet or update Facebook statuses? Not if you are Jaz O’hara. Unlike the rest of us, this delightful young woman decided to actually do something about the Middle Eastern Refugee crises. She and her team created a movement called World Wide Tribe. The goal of WWT is to help out refugees and make the world more aware about their issues. O’hara and her team is showing us the side of picture that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen.

World Wide Tribe was originally meant to be a travel blog. Due to O’hara’s activities it turned out to be a commonplace for sharing news and views of refugees. WWT records their stories, collects donations and helps the refugees out in any way one can imagine.

The Statue of Liberty. A gift from France to America to represent friendship between nations and freedom from oppression. The statue was designed to welcome immigrants and refugees arriving into America for the first time. The words on the statue read: 'Give us your tired, your poor, your masses yearning to be free' This is the statue stencilled onto a wooden shelter where a family live in a refugee camp / slum in Northern France known as 'The Jungle.' Think about it. ?? | #theworldwidetribe | photo by @tilly2milly
