Is a small group of Australians who were moved by the plight of refugees. Our common compassion for our fellow humans drew us to want to directly contribute to helping refugees fleeing war in Syria and Iraq. Early in 2017 we raised almost $A22,000 to fund two wards in an newly built emergency field hospital for refugees in Hassan Sham U2 camp located 25 km east of Mosul.
In 2016 we were moved by the plight of refugees in the camps in Greece. We formed the little group with seven team members, called ourselves Operation Hope, quickly raised $7,000 for the refugees, teamed with Non Government Organisations: ADRA & SCM then flew to Athens to volunteer as medical and humanitarian volunteers for 4 weeks.

In May 2017, five Operation Hope members flew to Erbil in Iraq to spend a month as humanitarian volunteers at the newly built Adventisthelp/ADRA emergency field hospital in the Hassan Sham U2 camp for internally displaced people located 25kms east of Mosul. In August 2017, we raised a further $6,000 to help fund a unit for mental health care for the internally displaced people living in the Hassan Sham U2 camp.

We launched our Operation Hope 'Christmas Appeal' in December 2017 and have been able to fund a number of urgent medical cases. See the individual blogs for each medical case we have supported.
Please enable us to help people who have suffered terribly at the hands of ISIS by making a donation.
Planning in underway for Operation Hope volunteers to visit Kurdistan, Northern Iraq in September/October 2018
