To Whom It May Concern… before it is too late! #RefugeesLT

This is the first text from our #RefugeesLT initiative.
On my third month in Lithuania as a refugee, and as I am passing through different situations here varying between the good and bad, I can confidently say now that Lithuanians have all the good seeds inside them to blossom and prove they are not less in generosity and willingness to extend a hand to help than any other nation who has received refugees along the history so far.

Join our initiative for successful #RefugeesLT integration

The Lithuania Tribune is launching a project aimed at helping new refugees successfully integrate into the Lithuanian society. Lithuania has only just begun receiving refugees from the Middle East. This process is still in its embryonic stage; it is extremely important to get it right from the beginning. Successfully integrating refugees into the Lithuanian society is a huge task, and the Lithuania Tribune is ready to play an important part. Openness and publicity, that is the most effective way we can contribute. Therefore, the Lithuania Tribune is proposing to follow the process of refugee integration through the eyes of a Syrian refugee, a journalist who was resettled in Lithuania just two months ago. We are reaching out to you to help us make this project a reality, this is why we began this crowdfunding campaign. […]
