G+_Awais Bajwa Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Does Silicon Valley corporate social responsibility extend to the Syrian refugee crisis? We met Khaldoon Sinjab in a small apartment in Beirut. He escaped Syria's war two years ago. He's quadriplegic - and makes a living using the only muscles that still function - his mouth and tongue. He taught himself English and developed a system where from his hospital bed he can use his mouth and tongue on a mouse pad to move the cursor on a computer screen so that he can do his job. He works 15 hours a day as a computer programmer to provide for his family, his wife Yosra and daughter Judy. But Lebanon has rolling power cuts and when the electricity goes out, so too do the machines keeping Khaldoon alive. #refugeecrisis #siliconvalley #CSR http://news.sky.com/story/1548318/millions-of-syrian-refugees-dream-of-normal-life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
