HELP US PREPARE HOT MEALS FOR REFUGEES IN GREECE

There are approximately 100,000 refugees in Greece and that number is continually rising as you read. We wanted to start this fundraiser to help share and give out hot food to these refugees in Greece to fill their stomachs up. Everyone at one point in their life goes through a struggle, and those struggles are hard to overcome. The life of refugees in Greece is a continuing and nonstopping struggle of living, providing clean water/food, shelter, and etc. Being able to raise money and prepare hot and fresh meals for these harmless and hopeful human beings would be the greatest honor we can ever imagine. So please pitch in and help us prepare hot meals for Greece Refugees.

First Bricks: Lifting Refugee Children

Millions of refugee children worldwide are often years behind the education level they should be at for their age. This is because they often miss months—if not years—of school because they must hide with their parents to avoid conflict in their countries. And when they flee with their families, the journey and asylum process in a new country can also take months or years, which prohibits them from attending school as well. Furthermore, there is a language barrier they must overcome in order to learn in their new countries.

First Bricks

Hence, First Bricks, a program created in 2019 by a devoted teacher volunteering for Embrace Relief. Dedicated to supplying underprivileged refugee children the education they need and deserve for free, First Bricks has grown substantially since its onset.

What First Bricks Has Accomplished to Date

  • 200+ Volunteers—The volunteers are professionals in their areas of focus ranging from teachers and engineers to artists from all over the world. They give their time, talent, and knowledge to help students most in need across the globe.

 

  • 3000+Students—The volunteers not only teach the students a variety of courses, they teach them to give back to their communities. Giving back instills in children the idea they can make the world a better place, one small project at a time. Therefore, First Bricks students develop their academic skills as well as compassion, social awareness, relationship skills, leadership, and more.

 

17+ Online Classes—First Bricks offers courses in math, science, reading, writing, language (including English), and more to underserved children refugees. First Bricks also offers social activities and classes such as guitar lessons and story hours. And the best part about the classes—they’re all online, especially crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has greatly negatively impacted refugee children’s education. Even the UN children’s refugee agency UNICEF is having difficulty funding remote education for refugee children during the pandemic.

Please Donate or Volunteer Today

First Bricks has been nothing but a resounding success since its inception and continues to grow at an impressive pace, but it can always use more volunteers and donors. Please consider volunteering or donating today to help provide refugee children the education they need and deserve, but have been stripped of through no fault of their own. Donations go toward school supplies, books, and gifts for the children, and computers for volunteer teachers so they can teach and easily connect with the students enrolled in the programs.

Yemeni Children in village

Lend Your Helping Hand to Yemeni Orphans

Think of your cozy home, complete with air-conditioning, running water, a working refrigerator and functioning sewage system. Your hunger, your thirst, and nature’s call all go nearly unnoticed as you can deal with these in a matter of minutes. Now, imagine a life where you had none of these things. A life full of a constant grueling search for food and water. To some of us it may seem unimaginable. Unfortunately, there are thousands of innocent children in the country of Yemen who are living in exact such conditions. These children have been caught in the crossfire of a brutal civil war responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, and are suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, and disease on a daily basis. We, as high school and middle school students of EPA(South Jersey and Pennsylvania) would like to send aid to these innocents in the form of food, water, medical supplies, toys, and other refurbishments. To do that, we need financial support from voluntary donors like you. Please consider chipping in and donating to Embrace Relief Foundation, a nonprofit humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization currently dealing with the crisis in Yemen. No amount is too little, and as Aesop said: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
