We were talking to one policeman at the controlling of our Social Center. We was talking about that he is from here, about olive oil and at the end about the refugees and our Social Center… We asked him, if we are a part of the problem?
He said, that we are not, But they don’t like us, because we tell the refugees, that they have to fight and we support them with burning down the camps..

So to all policemen who follow our sites…
I think you misunderstood something.

We are not here to burn any camp! that Mytilini have to built it up again and spend a lot of money they can use in another way. We are not here to tell refugees to fight or deal with drugs!

Simply we organize demonstrations, that the refugees become a voice. But as you saw in the last demonstration – it was relative quiet and without fights in the demonstration.
We are here to bring the people together, help them in their special needs. We give water and hot Coffee and Tea in cold days. In the summer we give cold Water to refresh them on their long way to the city.
We are cooking for more than 600 person each day that they are not hungry. We also give food to the living squats what built up time after time. But we don’t provide the living places for the people. If someone ask us if he can sleep in our Social Center we just tell them,which place is empty and we give them stuff to live inside Because now its better for them to have a roof over their heads that they don’t have to sleep on the streets.

We also give everyone who needs clothes, hygienic stuff, blankets, sleeping bags, or sometimes they just need a hug and a person who console them. We make contacts for free medical support and we try to organize support with lawyers, when something happened or if people need support in anything.

What we do else? We talk with the people and show them, that there are some people, who don’t care where they are come from. We are equal- we are all humans … this is what we tell them.

We make music with them – dance – that they forget the daily life for some minutes. In this time we all sit together at the evening around our fireplace to keep us warm, drink tea- sometimes beer, have nice conversations and harmony. We don’t have many problems with fights. You know why?
Because we are all the same. No one get threatened like an animal.. We take our time for them- with them.
They can do anything they want in our Center, they can paint the walls, cook, help with distribution of clothes or food, make sport, organize something great. We give them a chance to be something special, something important. Even if they have a difficult situation now.
