My idea is to work with the LIRS to have an event where refugees and those who have helped in the LIRS share their stories publicly in a TED-Talk style format and have it featured on the news. The LIRS already offers on their website an opportunity to “share your story,” and it inspires people to donate. Giving a much more public platform and bringing the stories to donors rather than trying to get the donors to visit is another option, and brings a life-like quality to the stories. It makes it personal as opposed to trying to convey feelings through a screen.
