Josie Naughton

I am publishing this important interview with Josie Naughton, the Founder and CEO of Choose Love, and Negar Tayyar, Co-founder of the Global Wholebeing Fund. Josie and Negar have recently returned from being on the ground in Turkey and Syria to witness the ongoing humanitarian crisis and desperate human needs of hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been devastated, homes destroyed, and families torn apart by the February Earthquakes.This may have fallen from our crisis news network feeds, but as you will hear from Negar and Josie, the human need for help is still very real as rebuilding towns, schools, homes, and lives will take years. Please listen to this and do whatever you can to help. However small your donation or gift, it will go directly to those suffering on the ground. I have put links in the show notes to the fundraiser and Choose Love's store where you can select to purchase real items such as food and clothing bundles to life-changing interventions that will be delivered directly to those who need it most.Background informationChoose Love is a UK Charity, and Choose Love, Inc. is a US 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization, which does whatever it takes to directly provide refugees and displaced people with everything from tents and lifesaving search and rescue boats to food, clothing, and legal advice. Josie leads a dedicated, passionate team that, in just five years, has helped one million displaced people and raised tens of millions for nearly 150 organizations providing vital support at every stage along migration routes from Europe to the Middle East and along the US-Mexico border.Some of you may have heard my interview with Negar last year - Co-founder of the Global Wholebeing Fund, the international fund supporting the humanitarian and long-term needs of forcibly displaced people, often referred to as refugees by the media. Now, over to Josie and Negar.Links Here is the link to the earthquake fundraiser Here is the link to the Choose Love shop Here is a link to a powerful article about the disinformation campaign again, The White Helmets Here is the link to a powerful article about aid and corruption in regime areas of Syria (apologies, this is behind a pay wall) 00:00 Intro03:50 Negar and Josie overview05:46 Josie describes the on-the-ground assessment of the need.11:45 The ongoing Syrian conflict 14:04 Explaining why funding sometimes does not reach people.19:00 Providing transparency of where donations go22:05 Why donations matter now, no matter size.24:06 Elevate human dignity.29:00 Building a movement of global citizens that make a change.33:00 The impact of the White Helmets and the damage of misinformation38:45 The scale of damage and the rebuild will take years.40:08 Support is still needed in Syria.45:38 Help people in need.56:05 Global solidarity is needed.57:13 Take action and spread hope.
