New Refugee Profiles are Live
Exciting update! We have just released a fresh set of BVOR-eligible refugee profiles for preview on our BVOR Refugee Profiles<https://rstp.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=269451976b32f231d41f99305&id=2a42bb9f88&e=92a76aee0e> and for matching on our Matching Database.
This batch consists of 6 unique cases that are open for sponsorship. Among them, you'll find a family of 4 from Venezuela and a linked case involving a family of 7, with parents hailing from DRC and the children raised in Rwanda due to resettlement.
These profiles were uploaded on May 23rd and will be available for two weeks, allowing sponsors to hold and confirm any currently listed cases. So that you know, a new set of BVOR refugee profiles will replace these on June 6th at 1 PM (ET).
Don't miss this chance to profoundly impact and provide a fresh start for those in need. Explore the profiles now and embark on a journey of compassion and support!

Important reminder:
Holds can be placed directly inside the Matching Database.
To confirm a case or to cancel a hold, you must go directly through our BVOR worker by emailing bvor at rstp.ca<mailto:bvor at rstp.ca>
