A Letter From Lenya: September 2015

The air was still and the ground was cold as the morning sun rose in the East. While walking uphill to the camp, we began to see the smiling faces of people welcoming us to their new home. The Korah School was an unfinished concrete structure, grey and weather-beaten. Children approached us with curiosity and wonder, and as they did, we could see the anguish of loss and the vulnerability of displacement in their eyes. These were the Yazidi people of Iraq – an ancient people who carry a heavy burden of war and pain. They are without a permanent home, searching for hope in the midst of a battle-torn country.
