Northern Greece
The market where we distribute clothes in Nea Kavala
We are working in the official refugee camp Nea Kavala in Northern Greece. A camp that has just over 500 residents and is located about an hour’s drive from the city of Thessaloniki.
A Drop in the Ocean is responsible for the distribution of food and clothing in the camp, and this will be important daily tasks for volunteers in Nea Kavala. In addition, volunteers work in our warehouse where we receive and store donations. Two days a week volunteers will travel to Thessaloniki and pick up vegetables that they will distribute to the residents of the camp.

ATHENS
Sorting out socks in the mother and baby space
In Athens, we are working in the official refugee camp Skaramangás, which is about 40 minutes by car away from the centre of Athens. Approximately 2,500 people are living in the camp.
Volunteers work with different tasks and activities that A Drop in the Ocean organise in the camp. We have created a space for mothers and children and have a community centre where we organise English classes for adults, dance lessons for girls, game evenings and lend out sewing machines. In addition, we distribute clothes and food to camp residents and have a warehouse where we sort and store donations we receive. As a volunteer you are expected to contribute both in the warehouse and in the camp.
