Google's fortune teller:

New website to spread awareness on Refugee crisis:


Seems these kids are so happy... isn't it? but the hardest truth is they are Refugees... 
They lost everything... 

Now, Google's Fortune teller website is a new project launched with an aim to spread awareness about the refugee crisis. 
The 'Google baba' has the answer to almost everything under the sky since it started.
Not a day goes by when we don't search for something on Google. Most common of all the things is definitely about predicting one's future.
People go at lengths typing out questions with the utmost curiosity of what lies ahead and Google, smartly enough has played on this very aspect for promoting a good cause.
As we all know, the Syrian civil war is one of the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. More than 11 million people have been killed in the conflict or have been forced to move out of their homeland.
The war has ravaged the country leaving thousands of people homeless, starving and there have been many horrifying cases of human rights violation.
MercyCorps which is an international development organisation which helps people in conflict-ridden areas, complied a comprehensive report on the Syrian crisis. The report states that nearly half of the country's pre-war population of about 23 million is in dire need of assistance, that includes those living in the country and refugees who have flown abroad.
This new website launched by Google is an attempt to create widespread awareness about the Syrian refugee crisis.
When one goes the Fortune teller site and clicks on the 'Predict my Future' button, the website will redirect you into a page which says, 'OF COURSE WE CAN'T PREDICT YOUR FUTURE! But 60 million refugees ask themselves every day if they have a future at all. So we used a fake Google-site to get your attention because apparently you were interested in your own future. Please take a moment to think of their future.'
One can make donations and do their bit to help millions of innocent Syrian civilians fighting this crisis. 
I wish you all should visit this site at least once...
