24.11. - 02.12.2015

1. Convoy

Dimitrovgrad (Serbia)
SlavonskiBrod (Kroatia)
Dobova (Slovenia)

 

From November 24th until December 2nd 9 volunteers in two vans were dispatched to

the Balkans, to actively assist the refugees

at the border. 4 persons have continued

to Dimitrovgrad at the Bulgarian-Serbian boarder, whilst the remaining 5 were positioned on the Croatian-Slovenian border

at Dobova to assist in a refugee camp.

 

09. - 14.01.2016
15. - 23.01.2016

2. Convoy

Dunkerque (France)

 

Between January 9th and 14th two teams went to the Dunkerque. At this unofficial

camp numerous people were desperately housing in devastated tents….

 

With the support of financial aids we were

able to purchase foodstuff but also

gas cylinders which were being distributed. Food was being prepared in the camp kitchen and we have supplied all sorts of individual help, as we saw fit.

 

18.02. - 25.02.2016

3. Convoy

Sentijl (Slovenia)

 

In February we were able to organize yet another convoy of super motivated volunteers. 

A team went to Sentijl on the Slovenian-Austrian border. They were supposed to help in the camp, however due to the push-backs and closed borders they found the camps deserted (empty). So they continued their journey to Zagreb to join another relief organization "Are you Syrious". Our team participated on logistic tasks such as preparing containers with all sorts of donations; clothes, shoes and other material. This container was eventually sent to Greece. 

18.02. - 25.02.2016

3. Convoy

Chios (Grece)

 

On February 18th 7 volunteers set off by plane to Greece, more specifically the Island of Chios. This team had been accredited by the local organization "Chios Eastern Shore Rescue Team“ (CESRT).

 

At this moment in time Chios is the destination of numerous refugee vessels, these arrivals need to be supported with the most elementary stuff. Besides night-patrols/spotting the "Luxembourg Team" also assisted the local population, who are slowly devastated and can't cope with this situation any longer. 

 

Thereby our Luxembourgish volunteers were able to get a general picture of the entire situation in Greece and in particular on the Island of Chios. 

The need for help remains huge, and Catch a Smile has decided to continue to financially support the various (local) organisations at site.
