I am extremely impressed with the Karen Organization of San Diego! This non-profit really listens to its community members, involving individuals from the community of refugees from Burma in its decision making and designing its programs to reflect the expressed needs of the community. Refugees from Burma are treated with respect and KOSD programs really foster a system of community self-help as leaders from the community and among youth in the community actively support one another. I highly recommend supporting the Karen Organization of San Diego in any way possible. They could really use financial support to continue to develop programs that assist refugees from Burma living in San Diego. If you care about populations from around the world but don't know how to best support aid efforts, a donation to KOSD is definitely a way to help refugees who have experienced extremely difficult circumstances in their own country and are getting a new start in San Diego!
