Join the Refugee Welcome Picnic: Vandana needs helpers on Monday
Give a few hours to the Refugee Welcome Picnic - everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India1,199 views
Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 570 neighbors in Madurai. I help organize it with 12 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for registration, sorting donations and carrying boxes. Shifts are three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a long-standing tradition, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day.
If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Vandana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Warsaw.
