Rob happily takes PayPal donations to [email protected] and turns all of that money into warm clothing and hard-wearing shoes for children in the refugee camps he visits.

COVER THE SONG: Please respond with your own cover/interpretation of the song (or just the chorus) - the more voices the better. See the subtitles for lyrics (please add lyric translations, too)

There are few people like Rob Lawrie, or at least few who manage to sustain their work against the odds as he has done, and I feel we should cherish and promote him and others like him as true role models for a better society and world, inspiring the rest of us to act when we see something that is wrong; reminding ourselves that it could easily have been us and our children fleeing our home for safety to live in some squalid refugee camp and relying on people like Rob to maintain our sense of hope and humanity.
