George Soros to Invest $500 Million in Needs of Migrants & Refugees

If the comparison between Skittles and Syrian refugees have you a little depressed these days, here’s a spot of encouraging news:

Philanthropist George Soros writes in the Wall Street Journal of his plans to allocate $500 million “for investments that specifically address the needs of migrants, refugees and host communities.”  He explains:  “I will invest in startups, established companies, social-impact initiatives and businesses founded by migrants and refugees themselves. Although my main concern is to help migrants and refugees arriving in Europe, I will be looking for good investment ideas that will benefit migrants all over the world.”
