“I don’t do my work because I’m an Israeli,” says Molly Bernstein, who works for Israeli humanitarian aid nonprofit organization IsraAID. “I do it because I’m human. Humans live in Israel, just like they live in Syria and like they live in the States.”
Bernstein took an unexpected change in direction last year when she decided to put her Arabic skills to good use and joined IsraAID to become its head of mission in Greece. It was a life-changing experience.
