Refugees in Greece

Waiting for help from organizations and volunteers…

There are many volunteers in many islands like Mytilini.

These volunteers come from Greece, Germany,

Spain, Canada and other countries.

They host them, they take care of them

offering clean clothes, food and water and then

they help them to get boarded at boats in

order to reach Europe.

 get  them to Piraeus port hoping to reach Europe.

No one leaves home, unless home is the mouth of the

shark….
