Together with volunteers from different NGO the organisation MGHRO looked after the incoming refugees and helped distributing donations at the Serbian border in Horgoš and at the refugee camp in Röszke.
One colleague of MGHRO has sent us this short report:
“Many people came to help migrants and refugees to Hungary and to the neighbouring countries as well. Volunteers from Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, UK, Slovakia and other countries helped with the logistics, distribution and organisation. The donations were sent from all around the world.
At the Serbian boarder I organised a little football game with children and their family members. We only had a small ball, but under these circumstances even this activity was highly welcomed. Children enjoyed the game and adults too. It was a great proof that sport can help to deal with difficult situations. In November we are planning to go back with a van to the Hungarian and Croatian border and we are planning to organize the following activities:
- distributing donations (warm clothes, blankets, shoes, sleeping bags, etc.)
- preparing warm food
- organising sport events (football, capoeira) for children and adults
- outdoor screening of cartoons for children
