We give ordinary people from London, Melbourne, Hawaii or wherever the opportunity to make a difference to ordinary people from Syria, Afghanistan, Congo, Irak and more who have fled their homes from wars, conflicts or natural disasters.
Because We Carry enables the first steps of healing on the sites. We believe that being full of trauma, eating from a plastic box and not being able to do anything make integrating to a strange country really difficult. People need to feel better before they can take the next steps. We help by building a safe space where new life force can emerge!
Our building blocks are: - organising relaxing, empowering and vitalising activities on a daily basis for the young and old - preparing and distributing 1,000 healthy & nutritious breakfasts every day #nutritionnotjustfood - including site residents in the organisation and preparation of all our activities - raising global awareness by giving normal people the opportunity to make a difference
We are active at CampUs Kara Tepe (officially called Municipality's H.C.R.M Mavrovouni (Kara Tepe)) on the Greek island of Lesvos. 90% of the CampUs consists of families, half of which are children. Kara Tepe is the shelter on Lesvos where the most vulnerable are housed. On Earth everything is inevitably connected. Which is why we organize activities for the young and old every day. By connecting with one another we create a safe place where new life force can emerge.
