“When will the war end?”

21.04.2022

The war in Ukraine could not leave unaffected our children in the Transit Accommodation Facility for Unaccompanied Minors in Chios. From the very first moment, they wanted to know exactly what is going on. “How do families live? Are the children at risk? When will the war end?” they ask over and over again…

Our team responded immediately, organizing activities that would allow children to express their thoughts and feelings; and apparently this immediate response seemed to be absolutely necessary. All the children of the accommodation facility expressed their feelings and especially those who had also experienced war in their homeland.

The children unanimously wished for a future without violence, without wars, without fear… And united their wishes to those of millions of people all over the world.

METAdrasi’s Transit Accommodation Facility in Chios is funded since June 2020 by EEA Grants in the framework of the Asylum and Migration programme.

Funded by EEA Grants
Fund operated by ΣΟΛ Crowe and HumanRights360
