Organisation: Lifting Hands International (LHI)

where: Serres

in charge: Molly Hock

Interested in teaching English, German, yoga, or other skills to refugee women living in a camp in Northern Greece? Interested in playing with refugee children and hosting children`s activities?

Lifting Hands International is looking for volunteers to join our team in Serres Camp. Our roles in the camp include running the women's space, hosting daily activities with the children, hygiene distribution, transporting residents to the hospital, supplementing the camp`s dietary needs, and hosting social events and celebrations.

Our women`s space offers daily English lessons, yoga and fitness classes, German classes, beauty gatherings, dancing nights, art projects, social hours, handicrafts, puppet shows, movie nights, etc. We also welcome our team members to host workshops and special offerings based on their personal skills, passions, and interests.

We have an urgent need for volunteers to join our team starting October 17th. We generally require a 3-4 week time commitment in order to offer some level of consistency for the women, but are willing to make exceptions for the upcoming months.

We are also in need of Arabic and Kurdish speakers to translate for medical teams and for our activities with women.

As we are a small, grassroots org, we also have many ways you can help from home.

We have team housing available just 3 km from the camp. We ask volunteers to contribute 100 euros per month to cover the expense of their stay.

Please help us continue to make our services available to the women and children living in Camp Serres. Let us know if this opportunity to serve humanity inspires you.
