Instead of coming home, several foreign exchange students are looking to help those impacted by the war as best they can."I haven't started the exchange program," Maher said."Everything has been delayed. All but three of us have already left. We were supposed to have 40, and we have only three left."
"It is been very sad to see a humanitarian crisis unfold," Maher said."And stressful to hear the bomb sirens and just to get all the notifications. Just a few minutes I got notifications about hostile air intrusions."

So, I can only imagine what they are feeling right now. We are doing what we can here and I wish I could do more.
