Packing

Ariana appeared on Radio and BBC Wales yesterday as part of a piece that was looking at the grass roots response to this crisis in Wales - please see youtube link below for the TV clip.
It is quite a logistical feat figuring out and prioritising our packing.  People have been so generous and we are still receiving parcels as we speak.

We have purchased 500 emergency blankets which were requested yesterday because supplies were running out in Lesvos, so feel we can make an immediate contribution when we arrive.  We are also taking tarpaulins, clothes, medical supplies and maternity supplies.  Friends have set up an appeal in Cardiff to collect clothing and we already have so much that we will start shipping goods out on Monday.

We hear that in Molyvos there are 1000-2000 people arriving per day.  Such huge numbers.... and this is just the beginning of a very long journey for them.  We are not quite sure what to expect, we are going with an open mind.  We will be arriving on the island tomorrow at 6am.
 
Please see our new YouTube channel where we will upload our videos:
