Refugee Week

The 15th-21st June is Refugee Week.

The main focus this year is the Simple Acts Campaign, where people use small, everyday actions to change peoples perceptions of refugees.

Action 5 is - Say a Little Prayer for Me

When a butterfly flaps its wings, it makes a tiny change in the atmosphere, which in turn can change the path of a tornado or a big wave. This is the so-called Chaos Theory, which describes how small events can influence big events.
Now, if we apply this theory to human beings it works like this:
You say a prayer for refugees. In prayer you use your imagination to put yourself in their place. This experience creates a tiny change in you, which in turn creates changes in those close to you, which in turn sets off a wave of change coming from within your community and affecting the way others perceive refugees
