Kingswood Church to host conversation on Syrian refugee crisis
Kingswood United Methodist Church invites you to join a conversation about the plight of Syrian refugees: "Escape from the Unimaginable."
In an effort to better understand the plight of Syrian people displaced by violence in their country, Kingswood United Methodist Church will host a conversational presentation at 11:45 a.m. on June 12.
Leading the conversation will be Lina Sergie Attar, a Syrian-American who frequently travels to the Syrian border in southern Turkey to provide aid. Sergei Attar is co-founder and CEO of the Karam Foundation, a Lake Forest, Ill.-based nonprofit organization created to help Syrian refugees help themselves by providing sustainable aid and tools to help stabilize families, educate children, prevent child labor, discourage early teen marriages, and keep refugees in host countries close to Syria.
The presentation, titled "Escape from the Unimaginable," will be held in room 114 at Kingswood church, 401 W. Dundee Rd., Buffalo Grove. For more information, contact the Kingswood Social Justice Team at (847) 398-0770.
