Waiting to exist

Hi I'm Martino, I came here to Greece to stand alongside people on the move, in this long struggle to be seen, to be considered. Being a migrant in fact here means disappearing, approaching non-existence, being confined in remote camps with no services for an indefinite time. I think waiting is the form of violence enacted by Greek institutions supported by the European Union, arbitrarily postponing and delaying the decision about these people's right to exist.And it is in this waiting that we stand, at their side precisely, carrying this heavy burden together for a piece of the road.Creating a relationship, in this dimension of waiting, means trying to recreate the "normalcy" that people on the move have lost. Sharing a cup of tea, a chat on a bench, laughing and crying together or simply being silent, allə help to regain the dignity and humanity that this system constantly tramples on.Your support - through a donation - can enable us to continue walking together. Would you like to help us?

Hi I'm Martino, I came here to Greece to stand alongside people on the move, in this long struggle to be seen, to be considered. Being a migrant in fact here means disappearing, approaching non-existence, being confined in remote camps with no services for an indefinite time. I think waiting is the form of violence enacted by Greek institutions supported by the European Union, arbitrarily postponing and delaying the decision about these people's right to exist.

And it is in this waiting that we stand, at their side precisely, carrying this heavy burden together for a piece of the road.

The fundraiser supports the project: In Greece to walk alongside migrant people
Total project goal: 20.000 €

Greece is the European Union's first port of call for those fleeing war and persecution. Those who arrive here often find themselves alone, forced to live on the streets. Volunteers from the Pope John XXIII Community, together with Operation Dove, visit people living in and outside refugee camps to offer them support and services, and monitor and report on the human rights violations they suffer. Their presence is crucial: support them on this journey of peace.
