Vial football stand! Thanks to our amazing suppor Vial football stand! Thanks to our amazing supporters we have been able to do this incredible project. The football stand used to be covered in sewage and unusable. With the help of your donations we have been able to clean the steps, build a wall to stop the mud and sewage from coming down the hill, and we have painted it in many colours! The football stand can now be used by camp residents as a social area or to sit and watch people play in the football field. Being able to bring some colour to the camp will be great for the residents and having a nice place to spend time.
The Local’s Shop is a place for the inhabitants The Local’s Shop is a place for the inhabitants of Chios to come and pick out free clothes for women, children, and men! We have a steady stock of seasonal clothing throughout the year, so we are counting on Greek residents to pop by and help themselves to all the items they need! We are focused on helping everyone who is in need on the island, and this includes the locals. When we have extra stock or items not suitable for landings they go to the locals shop. This also benefits the local residents of Chios. At O.A/CESRT we try to ensure that nothing goes to waste; these are all clothes that do not meet the criteria which make a donation distributable at landings or during apartment distribution. This is usually can be because an item does not meet the practical needs of people in the Vial Camp – but our quality checks ensure that all the items in the local shop are of high quality.
We are devastated to report the two tragedies on S We are devastated to report the two tragedies on Sunday, both in the space of 24 hours. The first boat sank in the Ionian Sea near Paxi island, leaving at least 12 dead and many still missing. Hours later a second boat was found in distress off Cesme, reportedly heading to Chios. The TCG said it "responded to screaming sounds" (BBC). This second disaster resulted in the death of 11 people, 8 of whom were children. All people should have their guarantee of Human Rights met, their basic needs delivered (at minimum), be treated with respect and have access to peaceful, positive, decent livelihoods. There should never be a desperate need to flee one's country and home. That people still must make these dangerous oversea journeys when the risk is known highlights the conditions they are escaping... May the dead rest in peace, our hearts and minds are with their families and friends at this time 🧡
Our current incredible team! 💜 Every member of Our current incredible team! 💜 Every member of our team is crucial. We have volunteers from all over the globe! 🌍 Roles change every day and everyone gets a chance to be involved with everything. Projects people are involved with include: landings, warehouse, Vial clean up, Vial games, beach clean up, emergency projects, and many more. Every new volunteer brings new energy, skills and ideas. A huge thank you to our 2,000+ volunteers that have helped our organisation progress and function over the past 5 years! 💜
Our amazing supporters.. this is a huge thank you Our amazing supporters.. this is a huge thank you to you!!! The football pitch where we host games for the kids and many people play every day had an awful path outside. It was muddy, dangerous, and also full of sewage. Thanks to your support, we have organised for the path to be fixed. Not only does this minimise the risk of people falling and getting covered in mud or injured, but we have managed to also fix the pipe lines where sewage was leaking from. An amazing achievement with amazing repercussions!
In 2019 O.A/CESRT supported 7623 people as they In 2019 O.A/CESRT supported 7623 people as they arrived on the Island of Chios. 3373 men. 1944 women. 2253 children. 219 in January. 59 in February. 151 in March. 236 in April. 464 in May. 275 in June. 642 in July. 518 in August. 1337 in September. 1764 in October. 1281 in November. 677 in December. The camp is at a point of crisis. With capacity for roughly 1100 people, but between 6000 and 7000 refugees residing there now the conditions are unthinkable. We still run many projects including the language centre, Vial games, Vial clean-up, gardening, beach clean-up, and the locals store, amongst others. With the situation constantly changing, we change our projects to adapt. None of this would be possible without the amazing support of so many people from all over the world, whether that be through donations, coming to volunteer or spreading the word about what we do... so, THANK YOU! We wish everyone a Happy New Year and huge gratitude for your continuing support!

O.A/CESRT relies on the generosity of donors from O.A/CESRT relies on the generosity of donors from all over the world to continue supporting refugees and asylum seekers. In the winter months the conditions on Vial Camp overspill have dramatically worsened. Both in the camp and on the surrounds, all are without adequate seasonal shelter. The nights are now very cold and our distribution of thermals, blankets and warm clothing is of vital importance, both at the Landing site and for the duration of time spent on camp. As a team, we are seriously concerned about the health and wellbeing of children, adults, families and the elderly existing in inhumane conditions. With the temperature having significantly dropped and the rainfall increased, it is so important to ensure all stay warm and dry.
So far in December our team has supported over 600 So far in December our team has supported over 600 people onto the East shore of Chios at 18 different Landings. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱: we have been involved in day time, early morning and late night Landings on road sides, beaches and at the port. All are challenging. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱: people have arrived during heavy rainfall and stormy weather, in colder temperatures and in sunny conditions. All present a variety of dangers (such as hypothermia and dehydration). Our focus, as always, has been to warmly welcome all guests to our shores, ensuring that the most vulnerable are dealt with as a priority case. We work long hours, we work hard and we will continue to do so because this is our duty as humans. We appreciate your help and we need it increasingly over the winter 🙏
Every morning we meet at 8.30 am at the Warehouse Every morning we meet at 8.30 am at the Warehouse for a team briefing ⏰ We begin by deciding our Emergency Response On-Call team for the 24 hour period. We then allocate duties across our other long-term activities: Vial Camp Cleaning Language Centre Activities (i.e. Workshops/Gardening) Warehouse Jobs Vial Camp Kids Games Kostas (The People’s) Kitchen Apartment Distributions All of these decisions are made democratically by us and usually taken with tea, coffee and (sometimes) baked goods made by volunteers !! Everything is posted on CESRT’s board as a visual info point for all to refer back to ☕🥐 Emergency Response Duties are always our priority so, despite the importance and value we place on all elements of CESRT’s work, we calmly stop other activities when team members are needed to assist in a Landing. #EmergencyResponse #WithRefugees #HumansFirst

The language centre runs many workshops and activi The language centre runs many workshops and activities along side their classes. These include arts and crafts, gardening and other fun activities. Last week we decorated the language centre with paper lanterns and bunting made by our students. We also hosted karaoke which gives the students a chance to have a good laugh!
Vial clean-up. Starting last week, we have made a Vial clean-up. Starting last week, we have made a Vial clean up team. A couple of times a week we now go to the land surrounding Vial Camp where many people are now living owed to the camp itself being full. We collect rubbish and many of the adults and children staying there help too! The conditions are awful and this is a small step we can take to try and ease the conditions. Not only does it go towards a safer, cleaner environment for the people there but it also helps keep the land clean for the locals and helps protect the environment!
November landings overview. 36 landings. 1281 peop November landings overview. 36 landings. 1281 people. 526 Men. 308 Women. 447 Children. Numbers of arrivals are still far higher than previous years. This month alone, the numbers of arrivals is above that of Vial Camp capacity. We are continuing to work hard, attend landings and distribute food, water and clothes.
Beach clean up. Whenever there is a landing at a Beach clean up. Whenever there is a landing at a beach, our team go and ensure everything is cleaned up. This includes boats, lifejackets (which these days tend to be inflatables and tyre inner tubes), as well as water bottles and other items that have been left behind. This is important work as it keeps the beaches of Chios clean and helps with environmental protection.
The language centre. We have a dedicated team of The language centre. We have a dedicated team of teachers who offer language lessons five days a week for the people staying at Vial. The language centre provides a place of developing language skills as well as various workshops, gardening and a clean, safe environment to hang out 🙌
Vial Camp is at four times its capacity and the co Vial Camp is at four times its capacity and the conditions are terrible. Many people are without tents or sleeping bags. We do what we can to distribute supplies however it is just not enough. Around 6000 people are now at Vial camp and the surrounding land. This is an emergency.
Our amazing volunteers working hard! Over the pas Our amazing volunteers working hard! Over the past couple of days we have had big storms in Chios. This means we have not had a lot of landings so have had a chance to start sizing and sorting our donations ready to take to landings. Last week was a very busy week for us with a lot of landings. We supported 544 people last week, with over 40% of these people being children. The storms over the weekend have provided us with time to focus on the warehouse and donations. However, we have no doubt that once the weather clears we will have many more landings to attend. This weather also brings further hardship. The conditions in Vial and its overflow are awful. The camp has a capacity of 1014 and there are currently around 6000 people. With the storms come floods full of rubbish. Many people are without tents, shelter, basic needs. As the winter weather worsens, support and awareness is massively needed!
