 https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2020-12-09/impact-covid-19-refugees\n\nLivestream: 
 https://www.facebook.com/thecommonwealthclub/\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion 
 on how beleaguered nonprofits are struggling to deal with the increased 
 challenges for desperate refugees and aid workers in the Middle East and 
 elsewhere during the COVID-19 crisis.\n\nDr. Niveen Rizkalla will present 
 findings from her timely research with an emphasis on Syrian refugees and 
 aid workers in Lebanon.\n\nAmanda Lane will share the importance of small 
 grass-roots organizations, like the Collateral Repair Project that she 
 directs and which mostly works with Syrian, Iraqi and Kurdish refugees in 
 Jordan.\n\nThey will both discuss how dedicated NGOs, aid workers and 
 volunteers are striving to nimbly solve basic human needs—physical and 
 psycho-social—in the face of disease, violence, fear and other 
 challenges. Maher Kalaji Ph.D. will moderate.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nAmanda Lane, 
 CEO, Collateral Repair Project\n\nNiveen Rizkalla Ph.D., Research 
 Associate, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, \nUniversity of California
