I reached out to her to find out how we could help her community directly. She and the head of her community responded with 2 projects:   One of the biggest challenges is staying connected to family and friends and using their other cell phone apps. Believe it or not, communication and other services available on cell phones can be more important to them than food. "We will choose the numbers of those who need it the most. That would be great help.", Vik.   <<READ THIS RELAVANT ARTICLE> https://www.treehugger.com/people-are-outraged-see-refugees-smartphones-they-shouldnt-be-4867591 One of the congregants
