60 thousand dollars per day! This helped Syrian refugees in all corners of our planet ...

In today's world, a huge number of ways to kill your free time with benefit and without. But if many of us spend it on a completely unnecessary things, some people do really useful things. For example, the Internet prosizhivayut. Yes, I can hear the cries of indignation that pastime on the Net, to put it mildly, does not apply to cases useful, but in all of our history is not the case.

Norwegian blogger named Gissus Simonarson found online photo Syrian refugees, who walked the streets of Beirut and holding daughter suggested people buy pens, to be able to feed his family.



August 25 Gissus published in his blog a call to find the same man. After some time, the Norwegian contacted Carol Maloof, who represented the organization that helps refugees in Lebanon. It turned out that this man named Abdul, he fled from Syria because of the civil war and now 4 years old can not find permanent jobs. Carol as it could help to Abdul and his family (in addition to the daughter he still has a 9-year-old son), providing shelter in a refugee camp.



Gissus kraudfandingovuyu decided to launch the campaign, which he called "Buy a pen." The aim of the campaign was to raise $ 5 thousand dollars to help Abdul and his family. But due to the fact that this story noticed Norwegian first, and then the world's media, the amount collected after 30 minutes, and the next day it exceeded 58 thousand dollars.



I think we were able to show a vivid example of what the Internet can not only correspond with friends and post pictures of food, but also to provide real help to others. Share this post with your friends, it can inspire them to similar actions in the near future we will write about someone of them.
