We would like to wish all our supporters warm greetings from our team here on Lesvos and in Zurich as the new year beginns. We hope you are all well despite another year full of challenges. Our sewing project had a slow start to the year with the Greek lockdown until June meaning we only had a half a year of classes but, despite this, we have been delighted with the support we have received and our workshop has been busy over the last few months ensuring all your wonderful orders are met.

Nach \u00fcber einem Jahr Freiwilligenarbeit, ist unsere gesch\u00e4tzte Media Managerin, Beth, zur\u00fcck in ihre Heimat gekehrt. Dies ist unter anderem Grund, weshalb wir ein neues Team auf Lesbos gr\u00fcnden. Neu planen wir ein monatliches Update \u00fcber die Situation in Lesbos. Dabei berichten wir \u00fcber politische Entwicklungen sowie die  Auswirkung der aktuellen Lage auf die Menschen vor Ort und schaffen einen Einblick in unsere Schneiderei. Es ist beinahe Zeit \u00fcber den November zu sprechen, dennoch m\u00f6chten wir das wichtigste vom letzten Monat festhalten: Nach grosser Hitze folgt Regen Wie in den meisten Fl\u00fcchtlingslager in Europa, gibt es auch im Mavrovouni refugee<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Since our Media Manager, Beth, finished her six months of much appreciated work and left our team to go back home, we are forming our new team on Lesvos. There will be an update in the upcoming week. This newblog will give a monthly update about the situation in Lesvos, political developments, the effects on the refugees as well as the locals on the island, and also news about the sewery. Because of the named reasons we will give a late update for october, we still think there are lots of stories we want to share: After heat follows a<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our main goal was to empower the women, those who belong to the most vulnerable groups on the island. Since many refugees bring the skill to sew, this led to a young refugee man suggesting the idea to create bags. Soon after two very talented Ghanaian individuals created our first design and it was at this point we\u00a0 realised that the best thing to do was to open our workshops for everyone, no matter of their sewing experience, sex or background. We are happy to welcome our first male workshop participants: Two Afghans joined our classes.They have worked hard and<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tila and Marzia are our two wonderful sewing tailors who teach the BagforEveryone sewing classes at OpenSpace, the community hub of our partner Starfish Foundation. We are especially pleased to have had classes back up and running for the past few months after lengthy disruptions caused by Covid-19 restrictions which were finally relaxed in June this summer. The classes are on each day from 10am – 1pm, if you, or someone you know would like to come along please contact Starfish! A big thank you to all the Bagforeveryone supporters – this project would not be possible without you all.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In August, Greece was experiencing the worst heatwave in over 30 years. Temperatures have soared to over 40 degrees, wildfires have spread across the mainland, and thousands of people living in Greece have had to evacuate their homes. Our thoughts are with the firefighters tackling the blazes, the Greek community, and those living within refugee camps throughout Greece who have faced increased barriers with regards to the impact of this devastating heatwave. Watch @parwanaamiriofficial report about the situation of camps on mainland Greece, where many people have been forced to relocate due to the fires.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
