โGoodwill Caravanโs work has deeply resonated with me. It’s always the common people who lose their livelihood due to the wars fought. And here is an ecosystem that is about giving people a second chance, to rebuild, to belong, and to live with dignity. I feel honoured to lend my voice to this cause and to the tireless efforts being made by the wonderful team at Goodwill Caravan to support refugees who have endured unimaginable hardships,” he said in a statement.

“I have a child of my own now, and no family, no individual, especially kids, should be exposed to the cruel drawbacks of war and fleeing to be a refugee in another country. Everyone deserves dignity and being a human, a husband, a son, a father all deeply have made me more aware of the need for empathy and emotion in a world that is alienating us from these very instincts,” he added.
