Keeping refugees in shelters warm, supporting school initiatives of Vordere Zollamtsstraße, helping feed refugees at Primavesigasse shelter, assisting a Christmas event at Leyserstraße shelter

VORDERE ZOLLAMTSSTRASSE

Thanks to the efforts of the great management and volunteers at this shelter, it has become a permanent shelter in December 2015. Moreover, they have put some showers in containers outside of the shelter so the hygienic conditions for the refugees have improved. Another very positive development was that 90 children from the shelter have started school in December.

The shelter had some problems with the heating so we raised funds to buy blankets. In addition, we have bought slippers for the children to take to their classes. Lastly, we have taken some furniture to the shelter for the Kindergarten area and the Mission of Hope volunteers have coordinated a delivery of furniture in the shelter, which was needed.

We also bought some toiletries since these are always needed. Bassam has helped us deliver it and a donor offered the van, thank you both:-).

Here is what we spent on the shelter using the donations raised through our site (all receipts are posted on a shared Dropbox page):

Blankets: 174.26 EUR

We have provided a donation for a Christmas celebration for young refugees at this Red Cross shelter.

We thank them for inviting us. The money was used for a meal for young refugees at the shelter.
