URI Stories of Impact

Stay updated with the latest news from URI-Africa.

As a member of the global URI family, I count it a privilege every time I am able to see the work of a Cooperation Circle come to fruition. This past week, in a movie theater in San Francisco, myself and two other members of the URI Global Staff Deepening the Journey CC were able to see this firsthand. 

Peacebuilders from California and Palestine, joined by their connection to United Religions Initiative, gathered in the San Francisco Bay Area last week. During a meeting at Sausalito Presbyterian Church, nine people gathered in a circle -- Christians and Jews, one Palestinian and eight Northern Californians, all members of the global United Religions Initiative family.

A dozen United Religions Initiative folks and their friends prepared food packages and distributed them to widows and needy families, including Syrian refugees, in Al-Mowaggar, Jordan.
