Celine Arvisu-Quinio
Continuing the conversation on the current European Refugee Crisis, I'm posting comments by Celine Arvisu-Quinio, another graduate of Maryknoll College, Philippines. Celine is currently in Italy to do communications work for the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) Commission of the Union of Superior Generals (heads of congregations of men and women religious) with headquarters in Rome.

Cecilia Brainard: Is the current refugee crisis affecting
you? How?
Celine Arvisu-Quinio: Yes. No matter where I might be in the world, I cannot ignore
the anguish and suffering of the millions of people fleeing their country in
fear for their lives. Survival is what drives them to leave despite the
uncertainty of what lies ahead. “There is no wall
you would not climb, no sea you would not cross if you are fleeing violence and
terror.” (Dimitris Avromopoulos, EU Commissioner
for Migration)
