So we have done what we planned to do...driven 3,000 miles to sunny Greece to see our friends Maria and Polis who are setting up the Salvation Army here. It only took 6 weeks:) We have been getting our heads around all the work that they are doing and helping whenever we can.
So far we've been delivering food to needy families, feeding the homeless late at night with a weekly Soup Run, shadowing Maria in her work helping girls in the Red Light District and helping organise what will be a huge jumble sale in an empty factory. There is a tremendous amount of loving, generous and supportive people around and it's all been very touching. It's exciting to think about how much more they will be doing a year from now. There is so much need and the phone is constantly ringing...we look forward to returning next year to help in a more structured way...and collect our car for the voyage home to England.
