Refugee Support for Europe is a small, dynamic organisation that relies on passionate volunteers to deliver our professional model of Aid with Dignity.
One of Joana’s primary volunteer roles was to work in the free mini-market where refugees go to get food. To provide a dignified shopping experience, Refugee Support has established a model where camp residents receive tokens weekly, which they can use to shop for the products of their choice.
Joana helped distribute tokens, restock shelves, and assist shoppers. Throughout the week, Joana also had the chance to interact with some of the many children living in the camp.
