I'm going on qualification leave in a few weeks to work in a refugee centre in Serres, Greece.

The residents of the refugee camp are all Yazidi, most of whom are from Sinjar in Iraq. ISIS committed genocide against the Yazidi people for a number of years beginning in 2014 where they subjected the Yazidi people to unimaginable horrors (with men killed, women and girls sold and held as slaves and boys forced into ISIS training camps) and so the residents of the camp are extremely vulnerable.

Alongside distributing key supplies within the camp (including food, hygiene and medical supplies), Lifting Hands International is a centre for education and healing and provides safe spaces for the women and children of the camp. Their volunteer team provides vital services and activities such as trauma-informed yoga, English and German classes, recreational activities and seasonal clothing distribution. You can read more about it here: https://www.liftinghandsinternational.org/serres if you would like.

Any donation for the centre, big or small, would be so appreciated.
