Monica, thanks so much for helping to spread the word about the quiz. We'll be posting an update soon. - Kate (blog moderator)

I have encouraged all my

I have encouraged all my friends and contacts to take the refugee quiz. Some have been skeptical about the generous anonymous donor....saying this is just a way to collect e-mails and send out spam. If only they had clicked on the link I sent them, they would have realized it was genuine and no one was asking them for any personal information.

Even if there was no donor, it was a way to understand more about refugees who have lost everything. The least we all could do was learn more from the comfort of our chairs through just a few clicks on the website.

I would like to see IRC post an update on this campaign to raise funds via the quiz.
