In this Thursday, April 13, 2017 photo, Don Ward, a retired high school history teacher, explains to Bellamy Sorensen, Gunnison Valley High School senior, about a family that lives in an apartment in the South Parc Apartments while handing out Easter baskets to refugees in South Salt Lake, Utah. When the LDS Church launched its "I Was a Stranger" initiative last year, Ward couldn't help but smile because people were suddenly motivated and wanted to get involved. The Deseret News reported people were unaware that there are 60,000 refugees in Utah. Ward estimated that he and others have helped more than 20,000 refugees in Salt Lake County over the past eight years. (Nicole Boliaux/The Deseret News via AP)
