    SUMMER SHORT 8: Nobody Should be Growing Up in a Refugee Camp

    Stating the obvious that children should not be growing up in refugee camps doesn’t change the reality that in Greece almost every child during the asylum procedure lived in deplorable conditions in island or mainland camps. And what comes next is frequently even worse as the homelessness problem in Greece increases. To close our Summer Shorts we’re talking about this issue to Kayra Martinez - a founder of Love Without Borders.
