Salam's boat to save the drowning
Donation protected
Hey! Let me introduce my friend Salam. He is the guy in the picture carrying the two kids to safety.
Salam comes from Denmark but left a good life to go to Lesvos, Greece. There he and his team save refugees from drowning at sea. He does this work at a remote beach where no one else dares to work because of the dangerous tide and steep cliffs. Thousands have drowned there already. And when people do make it to shore a band of armed robbers often takes their last posessions.
In the midst of all that Salam and his team work day and night to bring as many people as they can safely to shore. Salam does not shy away from swimming into open sea and drag stranded boats to safety.
He even has sold his house in Denmark to support his team and keep the work going. But he and his team desperately need a good boat to save more lifes. Luckily there is one for sale. One that is approved by the coastguard and that is fast, strong and safe. There are other interested buyers though.
To make sure they don't buy the boat from under Salam's nose a generous donor has already promised to invest 17000 euro's but another 17000 euro's is needed to buy this boat.
BEFORE THE END OF TOMORROW !
Because on monday morning the current owner will sell the boat. He likes Salam and the work he does a lot and wants him to have it. But he is also a businessman and there are more interested parties. And the boat will go to those who can afford it.
Help show the refugees that make the desperate sea journey to Lesvos, and Salam and his team, that miracles do happen.
It needs no explanation that there will be no words to express the gratitude from the saved refugees and Salam and his friends for any of your contributions.
Thanks everyone! Anne-Marije
