Our shareholders include people who print our books, our distributors, our authors, everyone. And we're not publicly traded, so that means it's charitable. And we don't offer advances. We actually have a lot of big-house refugees. They felt like an advance is nice, but they weren't treated well.

This is not a big movement of refugees, ... We're starting to organize now in a much more systematic way, bringing back people who need our assistance, who are maybe afraid to come back on their own, who can't afford to pay to come on their own, and we're taking them to the areas where KFOR has agreed there's a secure environment.

By their nature, refugees don't have documentation. We don't necessarily expect them to have documentation.

Jennifer Pagonis
We all saw the evacuation of Houston during the hurricane. In the exodus from Paris, five million people hit the road in fear of the impending battle.

Boris Berezovsky
