#do1thing videos

JRS launched the #Do1Thing campaign to encourage everyone to make a small step to help refugees and forcibly displaced people.

The #Do1Thing videos show what individuals are doing to welcome, protect, promote, and integrate refugees in their communities. These are ordinary people, doing simple things: offering friendship, or helping with a language class. They are not engaged in many great and heroic acts, but often are just offering one thing, one form of support, one day in a week. Often they just #Do1Thing.
