Love Without Borders
We provide an ongoing platform for refugee children and adults in Greece to address their trauma by making art (drawing, painting and jewelry), and raise awareness about the refugee crisis and funding for the refugee artists by organizing art shows internationally every month to exhibit and sell their art.
Given increasing intensity of the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, refugees continue to pour into Greece by sea with almost 30,000 new sea arrivals registered in 2017, and nearly 5,000 arrivals in the past 3 months of 2018. Over half (60%) of new arrivals are women and children and nearly all are suffering from trauma/PTSD of the wars they have lived or the journey they undertook to escape the war.
The mission of Love Without Borders for Refugees in Need is to fill gaps in refugee support services in Greece by organizing art workshops for refugees to create art, as well as raising awareness worldwide about the refugee crisis and those affected through exhibitions of their artwork. The project began in 2016 and continues today.
