Here are some interesting links. Feel free to suggest additonal ones!
A very important portal we'd like to present: Refugees United. Without the need for in-depth explanations, this portal should be promoted widely. It offers a service, technically very secure and completely free of charge, for family members and friends to find each other via the Internet. It is a direct way for people to connect, without having to turn to third party organisations. Since this service will work better the more it is known, help us spread the voice, will you? Thanks in advance!
