Community sponsorship is a sustainable and inspiring way for ordinary people from across Ireland to welcome refugees and support them to settle into their new communities in safety.
“I did not hesitate to get involved and for me it was about shared humanity.”
“If you could do one thing in your life, something practical, human to human, for one family, community sponsorship is it.”
“They are here on trust. They are hoping that they will finally be safe.”
“You can look and say how awful the situation is, or you can be a doer. The reward of welcoming a family is magical.”
“No one wants to be forced to leave their country. It’s destroyed now, they’ve destroyed everything.”
“I wanted to show the effect of war on Syrians and on our cities through the photos, and how much our family went through to get here.”
