I'm coming to you from Syria—a place that, frankly, doesn’t exactly scream “paradise.” Last night we got hit with one of the most intense dust storms I’ve ever seen. Locals call it a haboo, but let me tell you: when the wind’s howling at 40 miles an hour and it’s literally raining mud, you stop caring what it’s called and start praying your vehicle doesn’t flip over.
It’s the kind of place where livestreaming from the field would’ve been a great way to die—or at least lose a few cameras.
But storms aren’t the only thing stirring up dust around here. There’s war brewing on every side, and I’m here with the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian group that brings help, hope, and love into places no one else dares to go. Our mission takes us straight into the heart of conflict zones like Syria, Iraq, Sudan, and beyond—because when the world’s on fire, somebody’s got to show up with water.
And speaking of fire…
