BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Our initial concept was to organize birthday parties for those who were unable to do so.

This section was also created during the 2nd Corona Virus lockdown, as we were no longer able to organize birthday parties. And so, through our podcast Radio Younan, many Farsi-speaking refugees got in touch with us and shared their ideas and needs, and suggestions.

PROJECTS FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

This project will include as well birthday celebrations in care homes or private houses.

Our Projects

Projects

These are our founding projects: We visit refugee camps, squats, and private houses of refugees to organize birthday celebrations similar to how they did them back home in order to give them a little bit of a sense of normality in their new life here in Greece. We plan to do this as well for elderly people in care homes or at their homes – but due to the Covid-19 restrictions, we are not allowed to enter these homes yet.

Radio Younan

This is a project that we started during the lock-down period in March 2020, as we weren’t able to carry on with our birthday celebrations, and wanted to reach out to Farsi-speaking people safely who weren’t able to follow the Greek or English news. We informed them about the new regulations concerning the Covid-19 restrictions as well as other Greek news updates. This podcast has now become a part of our organization. It is not only a news update but also an opportunity for listeners to offer their contributions.
