Raising Public Awareness of Refugees and Migrants in Support of Their Integration

"Human beings are all members of one body.
They are created from the same essence.
When one member is in pain,
The others cannot rest.
If you do not care about the pain of others,
You do not deserve to be called a human being."
A Quote from Famous Persian Poet Saadi Shirazi
(13th century Persian poet from Shiraz / Iran)

Etched on the Court in Hague
