One woman's strength is helping refugees in Macedonia

I cannot embed this video link because it is on Facebook... I've tried to find it on YouTube, but to no avail.

It is well worth the five and a half minutes it takes to watch.

It is said that the root of the refugee crisis in Europe is the result of the Iraq war... extrapolate.

"I'm doing this because I have never seen so many people on the street.. pregnant women, and babies, and sick old men. No one is helping them."

The smiling face that greets refugees when they get to the Greece-Macedonia border is that of Gabriela Andreevska. She welcomes them, feeds them, and sends them on their way to the EU feeling like human beings.

Thank you, Gabriela Andreevska. You are the type of person we should all aspire to be.
