Devoted to Healing the Heart of the World

In receiving the following narratives of the work of Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL) from around the globe, I noticed a deep sense of hunger for the health and well-being of all humanity. This hunger, a seeking and restorative sense of hope and gladness at the heart of people, was pervasive, elegant, incisive, and beautiful in each interview. By setting out to listen to the lives of those working on the front lines of refugee, poverty-ridden, and displaced populations globally, the gift they gave to me personally, to the world of ideas, and the more important world of action is both uncommon and necessary for the good will of people, families, communities, cultures, and nations.
