🌍 This week we hosted a powerful session on humanitarian emergencies led by Joana Lopes, from Portugal com ACNUR, addressing how this UN Refugee agency mobilizes resources to ensure refugees' protection, safety and dignity in the most difficult circumstances. On behalf of Closer Social Responsibility unit, we have already supported two projects by Portugal com ACNUR – one through a financial donation to aid refugees fleeing Ukraine, and the other by donating a laptop to the agency, helping to equip their teams with tech resources. As we reflected on the talk, we were inspired to find new ways to contribute, supporting those forced to leave everything behind. Together, we can help make a difference. #TogetherWeAreCloser
