A very special International Volunteer Day: Scouts from mainland Greece join local Scouts on Chios to help refugees and migrants
Scouts and Guides contributing to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe (35): A story from Chios (GR) – Let’s take some paint and a brush and decorate this ugly hall!
(WSBERO/Chios) – “The scale of the refugee tragedy is incredible. Hundreds if not thousands of people – a third of them children – arrive daily on this small but beautiful Greek island having fled atrocities of war hoping for a better future somewhere in Europe”, says Sebastian Meitz, from the World Scout Bureau Global Support Centre in Kuala Lumpur, who had joined the Greek Scouts’ support mission to Chios, together with Thomas Ertlthaler, from the European Scout Region’s Messengers of Peace Decision Committee.
Is there anything unusual in this picture?
Scouts and Guides contributing to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe (19): a story from the island of Kos, Greece
“Do you note any difference in this picture?
You should not really, because it is just another meeting of Scouts on a sunny Saturday afternoon playing a game.
But wait? The children wear no Scout shirts, no scarves?
Yes! That’s because this is a very special Scout meeting!
In fact, the picture was taken last weekend on the island of Kos in Greece, where members of Ελληνικός Προσκοπισμός spent the weekend having joined other volunteers from local civil society organisations engaged in refugee support activities on the island.
The children in the picture are refugees from Syria and other countries who were very happy to escape hardship and boredom for a couple of hours and learn again what it means to laugh and have fun.”
Read more about the refugee support activities of the Scouts of Greece on Kos!
If you are involved in a similar refugee support activity in your local community, let us know and we will share it, too!
