THIS IS VICTOR
Victor is the son of a friend of ours. He is in his late twenties. He has spent much of his teen years and young adult life helping people in the most desperate places in the world....and in a big way. Victor created a foundation called, "Canadians for Syria" through which he raised funds to sponsor 17 Syrian families to come to Canada. He has volunteered in Bangladesh and Palestine and he has worked with the International Rescue Committee.
Victor is now a student of Public Policy at the University of Oxford in England. His focus is on migration issues. People like Victor have the power to change the world.
Victor is of Polish decent.
Of course, before a person like Victor turns 30, he would start a second foundation when war broke out in Ukraine. Two foundations before the age of 30......puts me to shame. A few days after the war started, Victor went to Poland to help Ukrainian families fleeing out of Ukraine. His new foundation is called, 'Hands on for Ukraine'. Through this foundation Victor is getting food, medical supplies, hygiene products into Ukraine and into the hands of Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
Last week, Victor crossed the border into Ukraine to bring supplies to Lviv, a city that is currently the hub for the majority of refugees fleeing from Ukraine into Poland. And on his way back, Victor will bring Ukrainian refugees to Poland.
If you believe that a good life is measured by good deeds, well, Victor has created an exemplary life.
So far, Victor's new foundation has raised 20,000 pounds. I'd like to help him raise more. If the world has the capacity to overcome it's most daunting problems, we will need a billion 'Victors'.
