I don't know if anyone knows but tomorrow June 20th is World Refugee Day. Even if you don't do anything on this day at least think or send a prayer (for those of you religious) to those refugees around the world.

 

There's a very short video from Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie:

YouTube - unhcr's Channel

You can also go to the website below to see how facebook is helping if you use facebook:

UNHCR - World Refugee Day: Giving refugees a hand on Facebook

Or the main site for UNHCR and WRD:

World Refugee Day | UNHCR

But in all remember how so very very blessed you are that you live in America and while we are here, think how many in need there are all over the world.

thanks for posting this calia.

 

my family and i were refugees...we escaped vietnam by boat and ended up in a tha refugee camp. it was a rough start for me as a baby (no healthcare, nutrition)...all my finger and toenails fell off...it must have been so hard for my parents (i now know how difficult since i am now a parents...shoot i freak when jack has a runny nose or funny poop).

 

every day we are so grateful for our lives and i am especially grateful and proud of my parents for taking the risk to escape vietnam and work their butts off in the US to give us such a happy childhood and so much opportunity.

Actually I was talking about the thread, thats what I missed yesterday. June 20th is today, WRD...got it!

Don't fret if you don't get the response you were hoping for, after all this is the best destination wedding forum not the best socially conscious forum. It's happened to me too. You tried to put it out there and that's all you can do. At least 2 of us heard you :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
