Refugees in Europe

Donation protected
Dear Friends, since 2016 my daughter Zelia has been volunteering in refugee camps in Europe first The Jungle in Calais then  La Liniere in Dunkirk (Grande-Synthe) . After both camp were closed (bulldozed or burned down) and not reopened volunteers still managed to bring food, clothes and necessities to refugees hiding in woods, abandoned buildings in both towns in Northern France.
This summer we went again in Dunkirk and from our last fundraising got tents, sleeping bags, sweaters, raincoats and a teapots. Zelia keeps on using her artistic skills to to bring some relief in the stressful  daily life of refugees. We bought Henne, paint, and brushes.
Now Zelia has been in Subotica, Serbia for over 3 weeks helping refugees stuck at the border of Hungary and Serbia. She sorts donations, buys food at the daily farmers market and does distribution for the 150 refugees. She also started a new art project with the Tshirts donated, some paint and homemade stencils out of recycled cardboard boxes.
Most refugees involved are young men from Afghanistan and Bengladesh, they love painting , drawing and are always looking forward to "Art in the afternoon". 
They have painted Tshirts and are trying to sell them, I am not sure how she will get them shipped I am hoping to get a hold of some of them . Let me know if you would be interested in getting one. 
Thank you all again for your generous donations ! Zelia told me that with a total of $60 she managed to get paint and brushes enough  for a small group.
I will keep updating you on her activities in Europe.
Best,
Evelyne Joan
