Hi,

 

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Madina Olomi and I am an elementary school teacher for Prince George's County Public Schools in Maryland. The school I work at has one of the highest refugee intake in all of the county with students from countries like Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Iraq, Nepal, Nigeria, Syria and many other war-torn countries. The refugee crisis has continued to be an issue that is very near to my heart and finding a way to help has become my purpose. 

 

In a few days I will be joining a team of other volunteers in Katsikas Greece to help in anyway needed. Due to the fact that the borders to the rest of Europe have now closed, Greece now has about 30 refugee camps spread out on the mainland where people will stay for many months or even longer, as they await the results of their asylum applications. The camp is located right outside of Ioannina, mainland Greece, in the Village of Katsikas. It is one of the largest camps on the mainland and one of the most in need of aid and support. 

 

How you can help!

 

My flight and all my expenses are being funded completely on my own and with the help of my amazingly supportive family. 

 

The money you donate will be going directly towards supporting the refugees and camp's needs. Your money will be used to purchase supplies like tents, sleeping bags, shoes/clothes, food, hygiene kits, medical supplies, etc. 

 

Because their needs are changing on a daily basis and the Greek economy is struggling, all supplies will be purchased by me in Greece and personally delivered to where they are needed most. This way we are not only helping support the refugees but also the Greek economy. 

 

The refugees and camp's resources are minimal and it’s up to volunteers and people like you willing to donate funds to help provide support and aid. 

 

I will be documenting all purchases made and providing updates on where and how your donation is being spent. Any contribution you can make is greatly appreciated and will go a long way towards supporting this cause!

 

Thank you in advance and please take the time to share this with your family, friends, and network! 

 

With love and gratitude,

Madina
