Our first holiday season in Greece! We enjoyed seeing many stores and businesses decorated, and continued our humanitarian efforts, including delivering hygiene supplies, receiving training from our Area Welfare Manager, meeting new NGO partners, sharing art activities and providing a little holiday cheer. We celebrated Christmas with our mission family and our very own daughter, Meredith! We kept the missionaries safe and happy on New Year's Eve, and worked on some projects intended to bring services to refugees in 2017, including sorting tons of winter supplies stuck in warehouses, services to women and children in "child-friendly and female-friendly spaces" and more….
