Distributing with dignity in mind
After several cold and windy days, our distribution of men’s and women’s clothing this week in Souda camp took place in pleasant sunshine. The activity, during which underwear, scarves and jerseys for around 120 women and sweatpants for several hundred men were handed out, went on for two days.
Every “drop” counts!
A drop in the Ocean depends on support from both private actors and business sponsors to continue relief work in refugee camps in Greece. We are very grateful for all contributions, large and small.
One of our supporters are Go`e Bussa AS, a Norwegian transport company that specialize in providing safe and secure transport for all passengers.
