Arrival on Lesvos

We arrived on Lesvos, Greece, yesterday where we will begin working in a refugee camp tomorrow. I can’t take photos in the camp, but we toured it today. Nobody is starving or without water, but a former military camp that was designed for 2000 has 7000+ at the moment. 1500 have come by boat in July. We volunteer with the group in charge of housing.

After our training session we drove north to see Skala Sykamineas and the Molyvos Castle.










Here is a photo of the lookouts. As soon as a boat of refugees enters Greek waters, a rescue boat is sent (usually from this charming little town of Skala Sykamineas that is pictured above).



Please pray for us. Our first shift is tomorrow, and we are all a little nervous. It’s hard to know what to expect.
