Going back to Athens: Volunteering with Refugees

Offering a little love and a little light to the world...

Last October and November, I spent 5 weeks in Athens volunteering in a number of grass roots organisations who support refugees and homeless people living on the streets. I helped with the renovations of Khora community centre and worked in Hope Café, who both offer various services to refugees; and volunteered with Love and Serve without Boundaries, a soup kitchen serving food to refugees and the homeless.

And now I'm going back...

I intend to spend 10 weeks during the months of February, March and April in Athens, offering my support wherever I can - preparing and serving food, teaching English and/or German, volunteering in refugee community centres, and helping with the Wake Up Athens mindfulness group.

I will also team up with other friends who are still in Greece, to work together on projects to support and to work towards a more sustainable future for refugees and volunteers alike.

In order for me to be able to offer this work and have peace in my own heart, I need your support! Your donations would help me to cover living expenses (including food, rent and insurances), travel expenses, and would allow me to truly focus on the work at hand.

Join me on this part of my journey, creating a better world for all. And follow me for updates on how things are going...

See you all soon, somewhere...

Many thanks,

Barry
