The hope project is very happy to welcome back hope project Poland for the weekend.
Philippa went with Adam and Zuzanna to buy the items we were desperately short of.
3 hours of shopping, 7 trollies packed with underwear, sun hats, sanitary towels, flip-flops, socks, t-shirts, and so much more!!!!
We would like to thank the people who made this possible, hope project Poland and Kjesti Ebbing and her fund raiser.
This support is sooooo needed at the moment.
With the world's media focus elsewhere, we are struggling to keep going. Without your support, we can not continue our work.
With so few groups left here and increasing arrivals, we are under more pressure than ever before.
Together, we are stronger!

Philippa received a gift today from some of our young artists, it came with a note…..
“Hello Mrs Flippa and Mr Eric
The first time we visited you was that time that we came to hope project for taking clothes, but in that time, we didn’t know that there is art classes, but after four months we understood that you have art classes and we decided to take part in your classes.
From that time that we took part in your art class our feeling got better because we lost our mom recently and nothing changed our mood because we weren’t in good mental health. But from that time that we came to painting class we got better and better especially our older sister f….. That she had two-time experience of suicide. Her second suicide was three months ago, but now that we see her its completely visible that she got better now that we try a lot for our paintings is just because of our mom we want that her soul be proud of us, and we are so thankful that you provide this background to us for riching to our aim. Until now we faced with a lot of problems and hardships but when we come to hope project we understand that in the world are good humans like you (Mrs Flipa and Mr Eric) you are so kind.
Thanks”

This young man is just 7 days old.
His name is David.
We were happy to see his mum and him today. His mum came to us a month ago, heavily pregnant.
Like all pregnant mums we invited her to come back after the baby is born to receive supplies for the baby and clothes for mum.
They left with lots of baby clothing and diapers along with everything young David will need over the next weeks, including a stroller, changing mat, towel, hygiene and blankets.
Mum was proud and happy because she has also received her asylum.
Will you help us continue?

Today, we received 16 pallets from the ever wonderful @flüchtlingsratulm.
The pallets were packed with everything we needed from shoes for adults, clothes, underwear and hygiene items.
We will work over the next days to unpack everything, the shoes are already going out to people.
Thank you so much to everyone in Ulm that made this possible.
You are truly amazing!!!

Without hope, all that remains is fear and dispare!
Every day, we embrace hope.
Hope is the power that drives us on.
With hope, we continue.
This young lady and her family paid us a visit today.
Just 32 days old.
Hope is our strength and our power to continue every day.

Sometimes thank you is just not enough!
Flüchtlingsrat ulm offer the hope project with incredible support and have done for years.
Every month the cover the rent for the buildings that we use, for us this reassurance and support means a great deal. To know that this money is covered every month is incredible.
Last week they sent us three pallets of brand-new items for women and men.
Supplies have been so short lately that I literally cried when I saw the amazing thing they had sent.
The pallets were packed with trousers for men and women, underwear, shirts and blouses, sweaters and blankets.
Having items like this to give fills the team with joy. I could see the how excited the team was, and how they were so proud to be able to supply such amazing things to their community.
Thank you is never enough
We couldn’t do this without you!

UPDATE!
The fire in the camp totally destroyed 4 isoboxes and damaged 3 others.
Thankfully no one was physically hurt.
Although the fire brigade responded quickly as always the fire spread at an alarming rate.
Everyone in the blue zone was evacuated from their homes at around 3am and allowed to return after 5am this morning, once the fire fighters deemed it safe.
A very stressful night for so many already vulnerable people.
The cause of the fire will be investigated.
The people who have lost everything will visit the hope project in the coming days, we will do our best to replace what was lost.
Fire is a constant fear in this camp.
We are extremely worried about the new camp that will open next year in the restricted fire zone of the island. Literally in the middle of the islands biggest forest, a fire there would be deverstating for the island.
The government has waved all environmental and fire regulations to build a concentration camp in the most vulnerable place on Lesvos.

Our youngest visitor this week, so new he wasn't even listed on his families ticket. The youngest and the oldest always pull at our hearts. Sometimes it feels like what we do isn't enough. But we have to look at the difference we make for individuals, and the help we can give.
