Story
We need childhood bags posted directly to children today.
These should have in them books (farsi, arabic, greek,), toys and warm clothing as winter approaches. We also need trainers posting as lots don't have shoes: Address Melinda McCostie, The Captain's Table, Molyvos, 81108, Lesbos, Greece.
We will also be using some of the cash raised to help those giving the children food and water when they arrive fro sea.

I am working with my Mum - a retired teacher who has worked with refugee children - to put together 'childhood bags' which will have books, toys a warm jumper and socks for winter. I am a lecturer and a mum of two with experience of running a similar campaign.
