You can make a difference on World Humanitarian Day

August 19th is World Humanitarian Day. The message of the day is “Do something good somewhere, for someone else.” There are a lot of ways to take action in honour of this day, including helping support a humanitarian response that can have a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of people.
