We held a Lunch and a site visit with Refugee Artisan Initiative(RAI)event!

Our board members and some partners joined and learned what RAI do, and how we can help them.

RAI creates a coat that converts into a sleeping bag with a built-in pillow.
This coat/sleeping bag is such an innovative design that the patent was filed for invention!
