The year 2010 marked 30 years of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS). It has been a time to look at the present with the perspective of the vision of the beginning.

Today, the needs of forcibly displaced people, of those who are trafficked, of undocumented asylum seekers in detention, are just as dramatically urgent. It seems that the challenges are even more difficult and complex than 30 years ago.

JRS looks to the future and asks, in the words of the Superior General Adolfo Nicolás SJ: How we may, creatively, effectively and positively, influence the closed and unwelcoming values of the cultures in which we work? In this endeavour, we are accompanied by friends and partner agencies, who have faithfully supported JRS throughout 2010 and in the years before.
