To get this important tool into the hands of as many teachers and counselor as quickly as possible, City of Light has launched a Welcome Refugees Book Donation Campaign, which invites people in communities everywhere to purchase copies of Hello! A Welcoming Story and donate them to their local schools. A portion of the proceeds of these purchases will benefit the UN Refugee Agency’s Ukraine Emergency Fund (UNHCR).

More than 3 million Ukrainians have fled seeking safety in the wake of the Russian invasion, more than half of them children. These children will soon be entering classrooms in new communities. They will join the many young refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, Central America, and other parts of the world who also feel out of place, overwhelmed, and strange. Their classmates may not understand where these children are from and what they have been through. Teachers and counselors are searching for ways to help them feel accepted and understood. Meeting this need is the goal of Hello! A Welcoming Story and the Welcome Refugees Book Donation Campaign.

We want people in communities everywhere to purchase copies of Hello! A Welcoming Story and donate them to their local schools (or we will do that for you). A portion of the proceeds of your purchases will benefit the UN Refugee Agency’s Ukraine Emergency Fund (UNHCR).Read more here!
