It's good practice to work in a warehouse the first couple of days: go to Pikpa (on the volunteer map www.bit.ly/lesvolmap). And info doc here will tell you what work is being done where: www.bit.ly/voldoc
Kind of a naive question here, but are there refugees in Greek camps with cellphone credit or FB accounts who can communicate with volunteers outside in the world? If...
Kester R. replied:
Yep Return Watch is already trying to do the same thing. And Codenameact.org started before us. Return Watch will help connect people in need of lawyers with the lawyers' groups, because in fact I'm working for all three. It's actually quite hard to set this up to ensure informed consent, safeguarding of vulnerable persons, privacy, data security, not making bigger promises than we can actually fulfill, etc. I suggest working together rather than starting to invent the wheel for the third time. ;)
Ariel R. replied:
I think we need to be clear though - its hard enough getting enough lawyers to examine these cases, so when we present these cases, perhaps we can organize them by country. For example, return watch seems to deal more with deportation cases tha have already occured, so the refugee is already in Turkey or en route there. That requires a license in Turkey and knowledge of asylum law and Turkish law. Thats a different thing than what is needed for helping those still in Greece (ie, access to the Schengen, license to practice, and knowledge of EU law). I see a lot of people saying "this violates international law" "Get them a lawyer" etc. Fair enough, but its not like the lawyers can just show up and solve everything:) We need up to date info on where a particular refugee is - for example, I spent 30 minutes bothering a policeman in Moria for a refugee that had already been moved to Kara Tepe. This is all to say, there are lawyers that want to help, but they need information to be able to do their jobs effectively. Just my two cents.

I think your friend messaged me--I told her to tell you to get in touch with O Allos Anthropos...whose Greek FB page I can never figure out how to link to. But the link is in the info doc (www.bit.ly/lesvoldoc). They cook around the island, and you could either expand their service on the days they cook, or expand to cook on the days they're *not* cooking. Also tagging Pam Crosbie, who cooks with them a lot. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a great idea. I have no idea if it would be frowned upon at Moria Camp or Kara Tepe in Lesvos but during my time there I did not hear any music and commented on it. Better Days does play music and definitely felt a lighter mood at the camp.

Kara Tepe is the refugee camp on Lesvos and Humanitarian Support Agency runs stuff there. You will want to contact them and send in a volunteer application. The camp is in Mytiline. It's incredibly well run. You can contact https://www.facebook.com/127098714308178 Humanitarian Support Agency on their facebook page or their website. But they have all the details there.
