One Sikh Man Tweeted This Message Of Humanity After The Paris Attacks
An unconditional offer to help does wonders. Always.
The recent Paris attacks have left over 120 people dead and more than 350 people injured.
As a gesture to help out people seeking shelter during the attacks, the phrase “#PorteOuverte” started trending on Twitter. PorteOuverte means ‘Open Door’ and meant that anyone using that hashtag was offering their shelter for the stranded people.
Twitter User @RohanSinghKalsi tweeted this:
Anybody who’s stranded in Paris and needs shelter and somewhere safe, any Sikh Gurdwara (temple) will be happy to accommodate #PorteOuverte
