12 h, feb 26, 2019 y - Amber Heard SAMS Mission Lebanon VISITOR
Description:
SAMS Goodwill Ambassador @amberheard joined our women's health mission to #Lebanon, meeting with Syrian refugee women and underserved local communities who have limited access to the treatment they need. Amber has long advocated for women's empowerment and ensuring the voices of those in need are amplified across the world. "[ln these settlements] you see so much humanity. You go into their homes and they are eager to share what they have, which is virtually nothing. They're brimming with life, and what appears to be hope... It's been a moving trip," Amber said.During her visit, Amber visited informal settlements for Syrian refugees living in the Beka'a Valley and a local hospital in Tripoli where SAMS Volunteers performed surgeries in addition to providing cervical cancer screenings for women struggling to access these lifesaving services.
Despite the harsh conditions and a lack of access to basic care, these women demonstrated a great deal of strength and resilience and continue to inspire us all.
