(Great Video!)

1: Do the refugees feel/think they will return to Syria one day?

2: How much do the refugees know about the countries/cultures they are fleeing into?

3: At what point did the refugees decide they HAD to leave Syria? (I wonder because I see people still there, amidst the broken buildings, who have lost neighbors, and I think, at what point do they say, gotta go)

4: What do you think about the sexual assault charges in Cologne, Germany (supposedly by male refugees)?

5: Do the refugees have a "voice"? I read about them every day, I've seen snaps, videos, photographs. I hear about them on NPR/BBC. But I haven't heard from them directly. What are they saying? Is there a leader?

Cool what you're doing.

Indeed. A tangent; people of our generation often get these big ideas (idealism) and see the way things are more clearly and want to make things better. I wonder what it takes to make the step that you made---putting out the video, forming the organization, doing this AMA. I'm sure that you, like me and others, resisted "doing something" for a while. We're all well-fed, well-treated, well-entertained. This generation (millennials) can out-talk anyone on the issues, but as a group we haven't put our knowledge into action. (our biggest collective accomplishment thus far may be electing Bernie). Now that you've actually begun change, effected something, how does it feel? What insight do you have? (I'm sure you're still buzzing from this experience). Do you see millennials any differently?
