Two vivo members from Norway, Merethe Hellen and Hakon Stenmark, took part in a mission to the greek island Lesbos to investigate the conditions of refugees arriving at the island. Whilst larger aid agencies provided help in the refugee camps in the largest city, Mytilini, there was no support for the arriving refugees on the rest of the island.<\/p>\n

Refugees were stranded at the opposite part of the island facing a walk of 60 kilometers in over 30 degrees heat to reach the camps and the possibility of transport to the mainland of Greece. The conditions were so bad that our vivo members usually working as trauma therapists, ended up taking part in ordinary aid with a local NGO, providing clothes, handing out food and tending to small wounds and sore feet. Since regular buses or taxis would not transport refugees, minivans were rented to provide transportation. This meant that a number of small children, women and old refugees, who would have struggled with the long walk, were able to reach the refugee camps and receive the vital aid they required.<\/p>\n
