About a year avon, in Nov. 2015, I went for just a few days to the island of Samos with several others to volunteer with the refugees there. It was a wonderful – if harrowing – experience and I’d love to do it again. I kept a diary while I was there and I’ve collected all my posts here:

There’s also a great video on the site of Layla’s time in Samos, interviewing volunteers and meeting refugees.
