This is Dawn’s story: ‘When I was 12 the Vietnam crisis occurred. My parents, who at the time lived in Ontario, Canada, helped the Vietnamese ‘boat people’ through a small Bible study group. This grew from helping one family to supporting five families. When I was a teenager, the Ethiopian famine occurred. I recall reaching out to World Vision to see how I could help, but they said there was little I could do, I chose to study to become a nurse, to help others, to make a difference. After marrying and having three children we proceeded with three international adoptions from China and Ethiopia.’ Dawn goes on to tell how she and her husband have helped Syrian refugees in the present crisis to start a new chapter in their lives, giving their children opportunities that their parents could only dream of.
