Fundraising by Marta Milano

I'm Marta, I'm 23 years old and I decided to spend 3 months of my life on the island of Lesbos where there are 2,000 refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, who now live in the camp of Mavrovouni, better known as Moria 2.

We volunteers are committed to listening to their stories in a mutual exchange and to providingsupport and assistance to many families who have left beyond the borders of their homeland in the hope of being welcomed and recognised as people.

I have seentheir wounded eyes screaming for help, I have seen so much anger and frustration but also so much desire for redemption from an indifferent Europe that burns their dreams and tramples on their rights, such as freedom and dignity.

The real mission for us volunteers is to choose to "be there" for these people, to offer our hand to those who simply ask for nothing more than to exist and to be recognized as children of the same land.

I firmly believe that each of us, in our own small way, can do something great to give voice to those who have none. I need, we need your contribution now. THANK YOU.
