Over 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis, either through war or natural disasters, and need humanitarian aid. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts and also honor and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk, and sometimes lose, their lives to help. Among them are ADRA workers and volunteers. This day gives us an opportunity to join hands with them by donating to at least one of many ADRA projects. With recent changes in funding from USAID, ADRA needs greater support and donations from Adventist members. Consider donating and learn more at https://adra.org/.
