PI SOS Refugees Campaign – final report / relatório final
Dear Supporters,
Merry Christmas and a warm thank you for supporting our Patient Innovation SOS Refugees Campaign. This campaign is now concluded and we wanted to share some feedback on what we achieved both in Lesvos (Greece) and, previously, in Tabanovce, Macedonia.
In Lesvos (Greece):
We helped in the reception of many boats/rubber dinghies and transportation of refugees. Also, we were able to donate:
- 2700 hot and tasty meals (and tea) in the Kara Tepe camp (thanks to the Volunteer's Coordination Agency);
- we covered the laundry costs of 600 pairs of socks, 600 warm scarves, 250 warm hat, 100 pairs of jeans, 60 adults warm jackets, 30 children’s warm jackets, thanks to the "Dirty Girls”, a volunteer group who collects clothes around the island and have them laundered at a commercial laundry;
- we offered firewood to the Lighthouse - Refugee Relief on Lesvos, which should last for about 20 days in their camp in Skala Sikamineas;
- we shipped 100 boxes of international donations to the island of Chios;
- we offered 25 pairs of shoes to the My Relief (2nd base) camp also in Skala Sikamineas
- we offered toys to kids in many different points in the island.
- in Athens, we donated cleaning supplies and devices to the volunteers who run a camp that has been installed in the former Olympic park.

Tabanovce (Macedonia, in the border with Serbia):
Previously we had offered food, beverages, winter clothes and shoes in the Tabanovce train station, including: 2400 hot soup meals (that were served at the arrival of 4 different trains), 6000 juices, 3000 pieces of chicken-paté, 3000 pieces of bread, 2000 croissants, about 1500 bananas, 125 pairs of shoes (mostly to children and young adults, about 1200 pairs of socks, about 150 gloves, 150 scarfs and 150 winter hats. In addition to the distribution of the goods, among other things, we helped a 105 y.o. blind refugee (who was traveling with her 67 y.o. son) to reach the border with Serbia. This was possible due to the support of the local volunteers (Driton Maliqi, Aleksandra Davidovska, Mare Bojkovsk among other), who helped us on the field.

_______________________
We did all this with a budget of 7.323€ collected via PPL - Crowdfunding Portugal (our initial goal was 3.000€). All the funds collected reverted directly to the refugees and helped people in desperate need. The logistical expenses (travel, accommodation, crowdfunding campaign) were fully covered by the promoters.
This is the end of this campaign and we are very happy with what we achieved. Unfortunately, all this is a drop in an ocean of needs… so please keep supporting the refugees in any way you can!

Caros Apoiantes,
Feliz Natal e um caloroso agradecimento pelo vosso generoso apoio À nossa campanha Patient Innovation SOS Refugees. A campanha está agora concluída e queriamos algum feedback sobre o que conseguimos fazer em Lesvos (Grécia) e, anteriormente, em Tabanovce, Macedónia.

Tabanovce (Macedonia, na fronteira com a Sérvia):
Anteriormente estivemos na estação de comboio de Tabanovce onde oferecemos comida, bebidas, roupas de inverno e sapatos. Mais concretamente oferecemos 2400 refeições de sopa quente (que foram servidas à chegada de 4 comboios diferentes), 6000 sumos, 3000 doses de frango (em paté), 3000 pães, 2000 croissants, cerca de 1500 bananas, 125 pares de sapatos (principalmente para crianças e jovens), cerca de 1200 pares de meias, mais de 150 pares de luvas, 150 cachecóis e 150 gorros de inverno. Para além da distribuição dos bens, e entre outras coisas, ajudámos uma refugiada de 105 anos, cega (que viajava com o seu filho de 67 anos), a chegar à fronteira com a Sérvia. Agradecemos aos voluntários locais (Driton Maliqi, Aleksandra Davidovska, Mare Bojkovsk, entre outros), que nos ajudaram no terreno.

Este é o fim da campanha e estamos satisfeitos com o que conseguimos. Infelizmente, tudo isto é uma gota num oceano de necessidades ... assim, pedimos-nos para continuem a apoiar os refugiados de todas as formas que puderem!

Notícias de Lesvos
Caros amigos e apoiantes,
O que está a acontecer na Ilha de Lesvos encontra-se para lá da compreensão humana. As boas vindas que são dadas às crianças e adultos que chegam em botes superlotados, são difíceis de explicar… Mais tarde tentaremos fazê-lo.
Por agora queremos partilhar o que já conseguimos até então, em diferentes partes da ilha, com a nossa campanha e graças aos vossos donativos:
1) 1800 refeições quentes que serão distribuídas em Kara Tepe (um campo com 150 tendas gigantes das UN). Contribuímos com os ingredientes, visto que as refeições são cozinhadas pelos fantásticos voluntários;
2) lenha que irá durar cerca de 20 dias em Skala Sikamineas e que permitirá fazer fogueiras e dar umas boas-vindas mais acolhedoras aqueles que chegam. Isto é particularmente importante visto que os grupos chegam à ilha molhados e cheios de frio. Esta iniciativa é organizada por um grupo de voluntários chamados Lighthouse;
3) um dia de lavandaria para as roupas que os refugiados têm que abandonar quando chegam. Um grupo de voluntários chamado “Dirty Girls” recolhe as roupas espalhadas pela ilha e lava-as numa lavandaria commercial. São organizadas e redistribuidas, para que possam ser novamente utilizadas. Para além de ser uma opção mais enconómica, é também valorizada pelos refugiados;
4) comprometemo-nos também a comprar sapatos na loja mais económica da cidade;
5) em Atenas doámos material de limpeza e de outros tipos aos voluntários que gerem um campo instalado no parque olímpico;
6) e oferecemos brinquedos a crianças. Os sorrisos que recebemos em troca valem qualquer esforço. Este gesto significa tanto e tão pouco ao mesmo tempo, dada a magnitude do problema. Mas graças aos vossos donativos, várias pessoas tiveram e terão mais conforto.
Se por um lado esta ilha é conhecida como a “ilha onde todos choram”, por outro lado, o trabalho feito pelos grupos de voluntários é verdadeiramente fantástico.

News from Lesbos (em inglês - versão em português virá a seguir)
Dear Friends and Supporters,
What is happening in the Island of Lesvos is beyond human comprehension. Welcoming the landing of overcrowded "rubber dinghies" with children and adults, is really hard to put in words... Will try later. For now we just wanted to summarize what our campaign has achieved so far (in different parts of the island), thanks to your donations:
1) 1800 tasty hot meals to be delivered in Kara Tepe (a camp of over 150 very large UN tents). We just covered the ingredients, as the cooking is done by amazing volunteers.
2) firewood that should last for about 20 days in Skala Sikamineas to provide bonfires so that people can get a warm welcome from both the fire and welcoming volunteers. This is really important as people arrive all wet and cold. Again, this is run by a group of volunteers named Lighthouse.
3) one day of laundering the clothes that refugees have to discard when they arrive wet. A volunteer group named "Dirty Girls" collects the clothes around the island and have them laundered at a commercial laundry (that's what we have to pay). They are sorted and distributed so that they can be reused. Apart from being a much cheaper option, this is much preferred by the refugees who get clothes of the style they like.
4) We also committed to buy shoes in the cheapest store in town...
5) Earlier in Athens ,we donated cleaning supplies and materiais of different types to the volunteers who run a camp that has been installed in the former olympic park.
6) and we offered toys to kids. Their smiles paid for all the efforts!
This is both a lot and very little, given the magnitude of the problem. But because of your monetary donation, some people had and will have some more comfort.
If on one side this is called the "island where everyone cries"... on the other, what the volunteer groups are doing here is truly amazing.

Campanha Patient Innovation SOS Refugees-see bellow for english
Caros Apoiantes,
Um caloroso agradecimento a todos aqueles que apoiaram a campanha Patient Innovation SOS Refugees. A primeira parte da nossa iniciativa foi concluída esta semana.
Estivemos em Tabanovce (Macedónia) a trabalhar com voluntários locais para acolher os refugiados. Graças à vossa generosidade, pudemos oferecer comida, bebidas, roupas de inverno e sapatos. Mais concretamente oferecemos 2400 refeições de sopa quente (que foram servidas à chegada de 4 comboios diferentes), 6000 sumos, 3000 doses de frango (em paté), 3000 pães, 2000 croissants, cerca de 1500 bananas, 125 pares de sapatos (principalmente para crianças e jovens), cerca de 1200 pares de meias, mais de 150 pares de luvas, 150 cachecóis e 150 gorros de inverno. Para além da distribuição dos bens, e entre outras coisas, ajudámos uma refugiada de 105 anos, cega (que viajava com o seu filho de 67 anos), a chegar à fronteira com a Sérvia. Mas tudo isto é uma gota no oceano de necessidades...
Recolhemos 6823 € através do PPL - Crowdfunding Portugal (o nosso objetivo era 3000 €). Até agora gastámos 60% dos fundos recolhidos. Em breve, alguns membros da nossa equipa vão regressar para completar a nossa missão (todos os fundos recolhidos revertem diretamente para os refugiados - viagens, alojamento, campanha de crowdfunding, etc são cobertos pelos promotores desta iniciativa).
Obrigado também aos voluntários locais (Driton Maliqi, Aleksandra Davidovska, Mare Bojkovsk, entre outros), que nos ajudaram no terreno.
Voltaremos a dar novidades quando concluirmos a 2a parte da nossa campanha.
O nosso muito obrigado !
A Equipa do Patient Innovation

Dear Backers,
A warm thank you to all those who supported the PI SOS Refugees Campaign. The first part of our initiative was concluded this week. We were in Tabanovce (Macedonia) and worked with local volunteers to welcome the refugees.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to offer food, beverages, winter clothes and shoes, including: 2400 hot soup meals (that were served at the arrival of 4 different trains), 6000 juices, 3000 pieces of chicken-paté, 3000 pieces of bread, 2000 croissants, about 1500 bananas, 125 pairs of shoes (mostly to children and young adults, about 1200 pairs of socks, about 150 gloves, 150 scarfs and 150 winter hats. In addition to the distribution of the goods, among other things, we helped a 105 y.o. blind refugee (who was traveling with her 67 y.o. son) to reach the border with Serbia. But all this was a drop in an ocean of needs...
We collected 6823€ via PPL - Crowdfunding Portugal (our initial goal was 3000€). So far we spent 60% of the funds collected and soon some members of our team will go back for the 2nd part of our mission (all the funds collected will revert directly to the refugees - travel, accommodation, crowdfunding campaign will be covered by the promoters of this initiative).
Thank you also to the local volunteers (Driton Maliqi, Aleksandra Davidovska, Mare Bojkovsk among other), who helped us on the field.
Stay-tuned... we will be back with more news when we complete the 2nd part of our campaign and please support the refugees in any way you can!
