PACKS OF PROMISE FOR TILOS!
Donation protected
Winter is coming - now is the time to provide the refugees who arrive with weather-beating essentials. Hypothermia and lack of food are terrible risks for refugees starting their long journey from Greece into Europe.PACKS OF PROMISEprovide essential supplies, each contained in a self contained reusable waterproof bag.
This fundraiser, having successfully raised £2800 to buy camp beds for the refugee reception centre and also pay for some of the revovations, is now re-purposed to provide Packs of Promise - small weatherproof bags containing essentials for the dangerous onward journey and immediate cover from the elements.
We will distribute these directly to those in need. You can help these families directly.
PACKS OF PROMISE is a new initiative which we are thrilled to be launching in cooperation with the WInchester branch of Kos Kindness who have agreed to organise shipping and share costs by bulk purchasing.
Please LIKE and SHARE and start donating funds for us to make them! As you can see these really are basic items that are desperately needed.
You can get involved by simply donating £9.50 per pack and we will do it all for you.
You can also get your workplace involved by organising a collection/drop off point for Packs of Promise donations at work or for any other group or organisation you belong to or can think of.
That's it! So why are you sitting there? Get started! Every Pack of Promise will make a difference.
Tilos is a tiny island with a population of less than 800 in the Agean sea near Kos. So far this year the island has seen thousands of refugees arrive, be documented and move onward to Athens. These refugees have been cared for on Tilos by volunteers who have had little support from outside the island so far, and who work night and day to do their very best for these poor people fleeing war.Winter is coming - now is the time to provide the refugees who arrive with warm clothes and shelter from the rain.
Each pack includes:
Waterproof drawstring bag
Durable high quality rain poncho
Emergency foil blanket
Hat
Gloves
Tube socks
Head torch and battery
Handwarmers (shake activated)
2 Cereal bars
If you have clothing or want to make up packs and send them yourself - you can contact the volunteers on the island direct on the Support Tilos Refugees Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/536340446517671/
Thank You!
