In recent weeks, thanks to the efforts of our Karawani Rainer in Raqqa and Tabqa (Syria), together with the "Organizations Office" of the Kurdish self-administration, we have been able to provide urgently needed help.
A planned aid delivery for a refugee camp in north-eastern Syria has now become emergency aid for war refugees. Our Karawani Rainer Brim reports directly from Syria.
Our two schools in Beirut/Lebanon were forced to close due to the war. However, thanks to our dedicated teachers, it was possible to continue teaching digitally, albeit in a rudimentary way.
Our Karawanis have returned home safely from Cyprus. The aid project shook us emotionally, because once again we had to witness how shabbily refugees are treated in Europe.
Together, we were able to give people in the large camps not only a smile, but also hope. Hope for a better life outside high barbed wire fences.
Cyprus has been a divided island since 1974 - between the Greek south and the Turkish north is the so-called "buffer zone", which is controlled by UN blue helmet soldiers.
18-year-old Aya has been living in the Kofinou refugee camp in Cyprus for six months. In the interview, she talks about her escape and her current life in the camp.
The painting room is a kind of "pop-up studio" with tables, easels, brushes, paints and high-quality paper that can be set up and dismantled in a short space of time.

After the truck arrived, we spent the last few days sorting the relief supplies and then distributing them to the refugees.
