My daughter and her boyfriend traveled to the Greek island of Lesvos late last year. They went to volunteer their time to help with the refugees who were coming by the thousands in dangerous rubber rafts to this small island. The Greek people, along with help from hundreds of volunteers from around the world, opened their hearts and arms to hundreds of thousands of refugees. It saddens me beyond belief that these horrible conditions continue. Where is the humanity?
