    Meeting generosity with some of our own

    Day 274

    Cheers to Friends

    To cap off a couple of successful weeks doing the doable with Rohingya refugees, we’re celebrating and giving thanks to a group that helped to make all this possible – our friends at OBAT Helpers.

    OBAT has been so essential to getting Rohingya refugees the support they need. But this kind of emergency work also means that they rarely get a time to just sit, relax, and reflect on all the good work they’ve done.

    For Day 274, we wanted to change that.

    The OBAT health team in particular goes above and beyond in everything they do…so we met their generosity with some of our own, getting enough lunch supplies to last their clinic staff for an entire week!

    Then, we got everyone together to break bread – or eat rice! – drink a cup of tea, and celebrate.


    The team was surprised at delighted when we handed over the supplies. And our shared meal was a moment to remember, simply taking time to feel the immense amount of gratitude, appreciation, and love felt by all as we wrap up this chapter, together.
