Refugee Kids' Activities, 2019 Calendar

UPDATE: Many of you will be aware that the squat where we have been running children's activities since 23rd of March 2016, was evicted 23 September 2019, the families scattered to Corinth and other camps. We have been trying to keep in touch with families and help with requests (such as for shoes, warm clothes, and pillows), and have been advocating for the return of families to Athens who were enrolled in school here. We appreciate your continued moral and financial support as the nature of our assistance shifts to meet with different circumstances. We will still be producing our popular calendar (designed and produced by photographers Adrianne Kalfopoulou and Eirini Moutzouri), a calendar that will show colorful, joyful moments from this year to remember, instead of the bureaucracy of camp life, the ubiquitous grey of UNCHR blankets. Please do remember to send us an address when the calendar comes out if you would like them.

We've written two articles about the evictions. You can find Adrianne's here:

Thank you for your unwavering support in these uncertain times.

This is our third calendar, can you believe it?  Looking forward to a bright and colorful 2019!

We are a group of volunteers (the Central Athens Irregulars) we have been working with refugee children and mothers in a squat in central Athens since March of 2016.  We do art and activities, teach baseball, English (and reading), chess, knitting, crochet, help support family's living conditions and oversee trips to the dentist.  All donations welcome--if you'd like our new calendar for 2019, we'd suggest 25 dollars to cover calendar, activities donation, and shipping. If you want a calendar, please let us know and give us your address! Thank you.
