Ryan in Ritsona
Donation protected
I've been in Ritsona, a camp an hour north of Athens, for two weeks now. It's a camp of around 800 people, almost half of which are kids. At this point it is not a transient camp but something that sadly leans towards more of a permanent residence, based on the pace at which Europe is dealing with this situation. Both the government and NGOs here have ambitious long-term plans which are important not to undermine, but I feel I'm in a good place now to plug some short-term holes with your help. I've worked at a few camps in the month I've been here, and I feel like I have a solid handle on how to spend money in positive ways. **Sometimes I'm impulsive and buy 500 bucks worth of sardines for 800 people. If you're cool with that, and trust me to spend your dollars true of heart, I'm happy to contribute for you here in Greece and hopefully continue to help these incredible people living in the most unfortunate circumstances. ❤️
