#EidMubarak | After a month of fasting, prayer and reflection, those of Islamic faith in our community now mark the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, or the “Festival of Breaking the Fast”.
.
For many of our resilient residents of Kara Tepe and the Olive Groves, Eid al-Fitr serves as one of the most significant celebrations of the year. And in support of the symbolic end to Ramadan, we joined forces with @because_we_carry to complete an extra distribution of healthy and tasty food to the residents of both camps with support of our beloved @chooselove
.
It was beautiful to see – for one final time this month – the power and impact of these kinds of distributions. The smiles it brings to peoples faces and the gratitude it brings to peoples hearts.
.
This year’s Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr has taught us that when we step across barriers and share significant cultural experiences, we strengthen bonds and our shared sense of humanity.

Sending our thanks and gratitude to our amazing partner @pranamat. This massage-set company has handmade 500 reusable facemasks for our coordinators, visiting volunteers and resident volunteers on Lesvos and Samos.
.
Despite #COVID19 restrictions now easing on the Greek islands, we remain conscious that the disease still poses a threat to the residents living in Kara Tepe, Moria camp and Vathy camp.
.
That’s why we are continuing to protect to the best of our ability the #health and #wellbeing of these vulnerable men, women and children. These masks are one of the ways we can.
.
Our thanks again to Pranamat. We are so humbled to work with a like-minded partner who has responded to the demands of the corona crisis by developing much-needed face masks. (They’re best known for their massage mats!)
.
During these challenging times, it is gestures like this that help us continue our mission towards dignity!

#togethertowardsdignity #EidMubarak This is Giorgos, a #Lesvos local and incredibly talented baker.
.
Giorgos has his own bakery on the island, with #baklava serving as one of his signature bakes. That’s why we chose to support Giorgos’ business during this year’s Ramadan.
.
Over the past month, Giorgos baked over 2,000 pieces of baklava a week for the fasting Kara Tepe community. And just this weekend, he prepared 8,300 pieces in support of our Eid-Fitr distribution in the Olive Groves outside of Moria camp.
.
We are so grateful for Giorgos’ dedication during the month of Ramadan – his efforts helped to provide food for many people after long days of fasting. His heart, compassion and hardworking nature truly encapsulates the spirit of the Lesvos community.
