We at Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt want to thank each an We at Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and concern during the tumultuous experiences of the last month. As you know, times are always difficult working in this field but, recently, it has been especially tough for us. We have really appreciated all of your messages of concern and kindness, and your offers of support. Your words have reminded us how lucky we are to have a huge, global Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt family who are with us always. Many crises have hit us at one time and, as a result, we decided it is was wise to reduce our operational capacity in the short term. Though we continue with our emergency projects, our team on site is now much smaller. We want you to know we are taking all safety measures necessary to keep our volunteers safe and we are constantly carefully considering our next steps as we feel the effects of political turmoil, civil unrest and the risk of coronavirus. We are prepared that we may also have to cease our operations if the government demands this. At this time, we are really sad to announce that we will not accept any new volunteers until the situation here has been resolved. With the health risk across Europe we do not want to put any person at risk during this time. We have thought about these actions carefully and we feel it is for the best in order to reduce the chance of virus exposure to all vulnerable persons on the island. These are the people that we serve and provide for - it would be irresponsible of us to act in any other way. We really hope you understand and we will let you know when we are ready to take volunteers again. We look forward to meeting you in the future!!

Breakdown: 3 x men Though a small Landing, this was a difficult incident as all three men were soaking wet. As a point of priority we gave thermal blankets and extra clothing. All men got changed immediately in the tents we provided. Amazing team effort. We recieved a second call from SMH at 7.20 AM near Kardalmyla at Giosonas Beach Total of 40 people from Sudan, Kuwait, Uganda, Syria, Somalia Breakdown: 9 x children 15 x women 16 x men This was a beach Landing far up in the North of the island. It was a fairly positive Landing with most people dry and in good spirits. We gave everyone what they needed including hijabs and baby clothes. The team worked calmly and efficiently. Whilst at this Landing we were told another boat was being transferred to Chios Port, more details to follow... We recieved a call from SMH at 9.10 AM whilst attending a Landing in the north, informing us of a third Landing at Chios Port. Total of 35 people from Congo, Somalia and Syria. Breakdown: 3 x children 14 x women 18 x men We distributed water straight away and ensured that everyone got a clothes pack and a coat. Extra clothes were given, as well as maternity packs to all pregnant women (of which there were many). We gave food and juice to everyone. Everyone was safe. Great response team!! Once more, thanks to SMH and Port Police for cooperation 🕊
Beach Clean Up. When there is a beach landing we Beach Clean Up. When there is a beach landing we send a team afterwards to clear what is left behind. Items include the boat, lifejackets and other rubbish. This can be a difficult job as you see the items that belonged to people arriving, often children's small inflatable life jackets and papers that are no longer considered to be important. We keep the material from the boats to be upcycled by other projects and also do a general beach clean. We hope this will help to protect the environment and keep the islands beaches clean for locals.
Landing. Received a call from SMH at 09:45 this m Landing. Received a call from SMH at 09:45 this morning about a landing just south of Nenita. 28 people in total: 17 children, 5 women, 6 men; from Syria and Iraq. On the way to the landing, heavy rain started and by the time we got to the landing many were very wet. The team responded by immediately giving out rain ponchos and getting the children changed first. We then gave towels and coats to keep people dry as well as water, croissants, fruitcakes, juice, clothes, blankets and nappies, wet wipes & sudocrem for babies. Thankfully, the sun came out half-way through the landing, meaning we were able to get people changed. Dispute the difficult conditions those we distributed to were all safe and the team remained focused and worked extremely well considering the weather. Thank you to SMH for their help and support at this landing, as well as the police for their patience.

We continue to work alongside Vial camp management We continue to work alongside Vial camp management. Over the past few weeks our emergency projects team has been working on building some steps to go into the camp. Some shelters are positioned above a wall making them difficult and dangerous to access. We hope these steps will now ease access to peoples shelters and lower the chance of injury 🙌

Vial Cleaning Project Due to the huge amazing don Vial Cleaning Project Due to the huge amazing donations we recieved last week, we took a ten day break from cleaning in Vial. Today we went back to continue this project. This helps to clear some of the rubbish on camp and gives the residents a chance to get involved with our work! We see improvements on camp when we work as a collective unit but there is still so much to be done to improve basic sanitation and cleanliness on Vial camp. Children must be allowed to develop healthily, adults should live decently and families reside comfortably. Nobody should have to live in a filthy state.
Last week we had two huge containers arrive full o Last week we had two huge containers arrive full of donations. Our amazing volunteers have worked hard to sort through all of these incredible donations as quickly as possible. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, many of these donations have already been sent straight for distribution! We thank you all for your continued support 💜
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 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!
