Violent attack against refugees on Chios.
It`s about time Europe wakes up and acts upon this inhumane abuse of innocent people.
Last night, around 22:10 local time, we received the reports of attacks on the refugee camp Souda in Chios, where A Drop in the Ocean has been working since it opened.
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.
