Resting after a long day in the field with LHI.
You probably know me as an article of clothing, yet I am so much more than that. I am a pillow on a plane. A comfort in the cold. A pocket for popcorn. A hood to hide Hayley’s face when she walks past the cafe she forgot to pay for a sandwich at 7 months ago. But it's displaying the Lifting Hands International logo of which I am most proud.
Together with my owner/wearer Hayley, we spread Lifting Hands International's message as we travel the world doing refugee work with LHI. Also, Hayley only has one hoodie, so she doesn't really have another choice. And boy have we had some adventures together!
Here we are distributing milk goats to Syrian families in Jordan.
Like in Jordan, where we distributed milk goats to Syrian refugees living in remote desert locations. Together we held a newborn goat, greeted wonderful Syrian families, and unloaded dozens of nervous goats from Ahmad’s truck. In fact, by the end of the day, there was quite a bit of goat poo and pee on my left sleeve. It wasn’t a big deal, and it certainly didn’t stop Hayley from wearing me at a local restaurant later that night.
Another adventure took us to Serres, Greece, where we worked at LHI’s long-term refugee community center. I met a lot of wonderful Yazidi people who came to our center. I even met some LHI t-shirts and we became fast friends. They’re so nice and friendly, just like the team members and Yazidi resident volunteers who wear them!
That’s me with Hayley in London!
Sometimes we'll do a side trip to Eastern Europe to fuel Hayley's addiction to history. Did you know that Warsaw was 90% destroyed in WWII? I do, but only because Hayley has repeated that fact at least 30 times in casual conversations since then.
