This summer at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, for the first time ever in the history of the Olympics, a team will act as a symbol for all those displaced from their homes by crisis.

The World Council of Churches (WCC) is calling upon its membership to cheer on the Refugee Olympic Team, a group of ten top-tier athletes representing refugees around the world. Before the Opening Ceremony on August 5th, we invite you to “join the team” and support these incredible athletes as they make their dreams come true.

Faithfully,

Richard
