Choose Love: Waad Takes a Tour of Help Refugees' New London Shop

UK based charity, Help Refugees, celebrated the launch of their new Choose Love stores across London, LA and New York last month.  

On opening day at the London store, Waad al-Kateab was excited to head down to Neal Street to support the Help Refugees team, taking Action For Sama followers on a tour around the space via a Facebook Live (watch here).

While visiting the Choose Love shop, Waad was overwhelmed to learn that Deborah Goldblatt, author of e-book, Syria Welcomes a Stranger (which Waad had previously contributed to) had given £10,000 of the book donations to be spent in store by Action For Sama. 

With the £10,000 Waad was able to purchase £1000 on nappies, £7000 on medical care, £1000 on firewood, £1000 on hot food:

We are so excited for our friends at Help Refugees for this incredible new chapter for their work - making tangible support for refugees possible.
