A year is coming to an end

The year is drawing to a close, and many of us are beginning to reflect on the events and changes that have taken place. At A Drop in the Ocean, the impact is always clear in the places where we continue our urgent work, especially as 2024 saw the greatest number of new arrivals since 2019.

First impressions

I think it may often be the case for many of us that, when beginning something new, we tend to focus so much on making a good impression ourselves that our own first impressions of the situation we face take a backseat.

Interview with volunteer, Susan Clark

Since its inception in 2015, Dråpen I Havet has been sustained by the dedicated and tireless support of volunteers from all over the world. While some volunteers have started their journey with DiH as participants in our programmes, others have joined our team to enable us to keep the respective programmes running.
