The evening will be a bit of theater, music, film and presentations. The goal is to have the audience experience a few moments in the life of a person seeking asylum. The Hands On Global team will tell stories of the refugees they met and served and how the generosity of those Helenans who donated impact the life of a refugee. Our Helena Village has saved lives and this presentation will focus on what that impact is. This is based on the EU crisis that continues despite media silence.
There will be a 12 minute film featuring Omar Alkashal ( founder of Refugee4Refugees) and Hands On Global’s collaboration. Music by Wilbur Rehmann and Judy Fjell.
Speakers include Dr Georgia Milan (2013 recipient of Champion of Change by President Obama), Karen Cooper , Valerie Hellermann, Tama Adelman and Scott Craigle, all who participated in the refugee work.
“SOS” an art exhibition by Judy Paton and Valerie Hellermann will be in the lobby.
The evening is by donation. Funds raised will be used for medicines, medical supplies, medical treatment and renting a van for the mobile clinic. The Hands On Global team will be on the ground in Greece Refugee Camps Oct 23- Nov 20.
