Description

When the Arab Spring turned into civil war in Syria in 2012, SCM Medical Missions stepped up to help provide medical and humanitarian aid to the thousands of refugees fleeing across the border into Jordan. Since that time, we have evolved with the changing times and have gone from providing emergency medical care to more sustained assistance in Jordan, Lebanon, and Greece, to helping refugees resettled in Washington state. The refugees that came here with just a suitcase of clothes and maybe a few personal items have made new lives for themselves. Some have been able to find jobs in our tech industry or other growing industries or trades, children are attending and excelling in school, others have started their own businesses. SCM has been there to help make sure they don’t fall through the cracks, and we have been so proud of their many successes. Now, we are going to celebrate another success: citizenship. Many of the resettled Syrian refugees have worked hard and gained their US citizenship and we want to showcase their achievement. We invite you to help us celebrate and highlight the positive impact the refugees have had on Washington and Washingtonians.
