About the event

On this day, participants will learn more about our organization and the current project in Greece (Be Aware And Share).

Gathering, coffee, and welcome. Afterwards, the Sonnenhaus (sorting warehouse) will be presented, as well as all the organizations that work for the Sonnenhaus. Then we will actively sort clothes according to gender, size, warmth, etc. 

We will enjoy a small snack lunch together at the Sonnenhaus. Afterwards, we will travel by public transport to Deisswil to the REFY central warehouse. REFY will introduce itself (REFY organizes and carries out all clothing transports to crisis areas). Afterwards, we will start the joint return trip to the Sonnenhaus. Question and answer session, final coffee and farewell.

The day benefits all organizations that work at the Sonnenhaus. The donations benefit all refugees and people in need who are living in precarious countries and situations. For example, Bosnia, Greece, but also Paris (almost unimaginable, but many refugees live on the streets there. We have a good working relationship with a smaller organization there).
