I Volunteered in a Refugee Camp. These Are The Stories You Won’t See on TV.
I spent my first stint at #Ritsona, a camp about two hours north of Athens. Nearly 900 people live there— about two thirds are Syrian, others are from Iraq and Afghanistan, others are stateless: Palestinian, Kurdish, and Yazidi. The camp is situated on an old military base; it has no running water or electricity, and residents live in tents with no flooring. Many have built stoves out of mud and dirt and tapped into a nearby power line to charge their phones. Volunteers from several non-profits distribute meals, clothing, and medical attention. The camp is overseen by the Greek military.
