I am sure you are wanting to know more about the project we are involved in. The project is linked to excellent work being delivered by "Love Without Borders - for refugees in need" This astonishing organisation was founded by Kayra Martinez.
Here is information on the organisation from the Facebook page.
Kayra works tirelessly; spending what appears to be every moment when she isn't working, on this project.
These are Kayra's words in describing the project:
As an American citizen, working in Germany for the last 16 years, my life has been a dream come true. I've always wanted a way to give back in some small way. I have volunteered for 5 years for the CAUSE foundation helping Flight attendants, and in the last one and a half years in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia there has been a big need. There are thousands of refugees fleeing from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Due to many volunteer groups set up locally, they are getting basic items to get them through this difficult time. Many grass roots efforts have started up to help support where other big NGO's cannot. We have helped bring aid, start schools, art classes and helped one on one with support to help the people fleeing their homes. Please share and bring awareness to this situation that affects us all.
We met Kayra earlier this year at an event run by the wonderful Gosia Gorna. Kayra was selling artwork the children had produced in refugee camps. Kayra and other talented volunteers were using art as therapy for traumatised children.
Neil talked to Kayra and started discussing the possibility of doing some workshops using music to enthuse the children. Since that conversation we have been creating ideas for the workshops. I will share more about this tomorrow!
