There arent many organizations that can claim to have rescued four Syrian refugee families living in encampments in Lebanon.
GISH is the passion project ofSupernaturalstar Misha Collins.
And out of those tasks, the hunt affects real change.

Collins first heard learned about the women from photographer Giles Duley, who travels the world documenting peoples stories.
When Duley was working on a series about genocide around the world, he met a woman named Olive.
Olive is a potato farmer in a village in Rwanda, Collins says.
She had been in the hospital giving birth to her third child when the Rwandan 100 day genocide started.
Then the militants came and ordered everyone out of the hospital.
But that was only the beginning of Olives story.
They were still her neighbors, Collins says.
She had to see the people who had killed her family every day.
And after a couple years, Olive decided it was time to forgive.
And over time, those men ended up helping Olive rebuild her life.
They helped her build her garden plot and her shack.
Thats where GISH came in.
In her village, there are four farming collectives, meaning 100 women that need help.
Theyll be able to support themselves with that in perpetuity.
But the strange game isnt over yet.
GISH will now be doing year-round challenges, in addition to the annual hunt.
It turns out a scavenger hunt can make a real difference.
