We Need Your Help!
As humans, we all share something in common. We are constantly moving from one place to another. At times we are comfortable and secure in our surroundings, and other times, we are isolated, lost and desperate for help.
The conflicts, persecution, or natural disasters that can keep us from reaching our destinations and goals can be very difficult to navigate on our own. In these moments, we rely on the help and kindness of others to get us where we need to go.
If you or someone you know is interested in collaborating on a similar map, please reach out to us.
