The investment
comes in response to the Obama administration's "Call to Action"
initiative, asking U.S. companies to help ease the migrant

Soros, founder of the Open Society Foundations, also said he
plans to work closely with the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees and the International Rescue Committee

in Syria ended, after a Syrian or Russian aircraft attacked an
aid convoy near Aleppo.
Open Society Foundations was not immediately available for
comment.
