"Operation Abraham was founded by a handful of concerned citizens of Canada and the United States who were suddenly engaged in an initial plight to rescue a family in Kabul. From there, the mission of Operation Abraham grew to help evacuate hundreds of victims from Afghanistan and assist in the resettlement of those desperate to seek freedom in other countries including Canada." ~ Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights

Join J-Fellows for an interactive, online event with Jacques Shore, C.M., Lewis Retik, Dr. Farouq Samim and Bram Bregman  of Operation Abraham, as they discuss the pivotal role Operation Abraham has played in saving the lives of the most vulnerable Afghans. All are welcome.
