We are seeking two volunteering area coordinators
We are urgently searching two volunteering area coordinators to strengthen our teams in Greece. As an area coordinator your main responsibility is to welcome and assist all the volunteers arriving to the destination and train them in the tasks and the rules for working with refugees at the destination. You will be a team leader for Dråpen i Havet and participate in meetings with other NGOs. Reporting to the main office in Oslo is also one of the responsibilities.
The need is great and the need is now
This past week our volunteers in Cherso and NEA Kavala camps have been working hard on supplying both camps with winter clothes. With the market building not quite finished in NEA Kavala they have sent a team to go container to container and tent to tent writing down individual clothes orders. The need is great and the need is now.
