The fundraise is closed as of March 8 in order for donations to reach me before departure, March 25. If you want so support me, send me a message and you can still donate using PayPal.

 

Let me introduce myself. 

 

My name is Jesper Isaksson, a 40 years old teacher and altruist in Stockholm, Sweden. I have been raised by two parents who have made a good job teaching me the value of human rights activism, peace keeping and solidarity work. 

 

Since the beginning when media started to report about the the crisis in the Mediterranean Sea I have felt a kind of calling to travel to Lesvos to help. 

  In December I signed up for volunteer work at a nearby shelter for refugees outside Stockholm. After my first day I phoned my family to let them know that I wouldn't be coming home for Christmas. I was needed elsewhere. 

  During three weeks I spent almost 200 hours helping people in need. And I want to do more. 

 

I am planning to travel to Lesvos for one week during our Easter holiday in Sweden. I have contact with a couple of organizations at Levos and I am looking for flights and accommodation. 

 

Departure March 25, 2016.

 

I want to do this trip - actually I need to do this trip - for thousands of people in need, but also for myself and the people around me. I believe I can be a part in changing the world by changing myself and the people around me by sharing experiences and knowledge. 

 

During my trip I will document my experiences, taking photos and videos, share  video logs and reports on social media.

 

Funds will partly be used to fund my trip as well as cover expenses such as extra luggage on flight (donations for refugees), car rental (for assisting in driving refugees from beaches to camps) and donations to volunteer groups on site. 

 

Thank you for your time and if you want, please help me to save lives on Lesvos.
