Support Survivor Corps
Veteran's Day may have passed, but it's never too late to put our focus on helping those who serve in the military -- especially the wounded who are coming back from war and trying to rebuild their lives.
Listen to Ariane's Change Nation interview with Jerry White, co-founder and executive director of Survivor Corps:
Survivor Corps helps people around the world who have suffered war and violence to rebuild their lives and rejoin their communities. By connecting those affected by conflict through networks of survivors, we help people overcome trauma and injury and regain their place in society. Survivor Corps (formerly Landmine Survivors Network) was born out of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, and recently spearheaded the development of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Over the past ten years, Survivor Corps has established successful peer support programs in eight war affected countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Victoria you bring focus back to a very important selfless group of people that we owe a great deal to. It is so easy to feel something for these heroes when it is making the news, but as time fades, unfortunately we move on with our lives and our attention moves away too. Thank you for redirecting our focus.
