Destination country/region: Polish-Belarusian border, Poland
Period: December 2021
Short description: Between Christmas and New Year we supported the local initiative Grupa Granica with donations in kind and a small support team.
Project Progress:
Several weeks before the mission, CADUS was already in contact with Grupa Granica to determine the need for specific medical and communication equipment. During the Christmas holidays, the group needed not only material support but also medical professionals. A Medic and another CADUS staff member headed to the border to support the local initiative there.
Our Medic was mainly on site to be able to medically examine refugees hiding in the forest there trying to get across the border when alerted by the local network.

Zeit, Danke zu sagen
2020 war ein außergewöhnliches Jahr, mit mehr Schwierigkeiten als sonst. Dennoch ist eure Spendenbereitschaft nicht eingebrochen, und das ist phänomenal! Doch in diesem Jahr der unverhergesehenen Dinge sind auch viele ungeplante Ausgaben auf uns zugekommen, während fest zugesagte Förderungen weggebrochen sind.
How to Build an EMT – What we learned on Lesbos
Shortly before Christmas, our mission in Camp Kara Tepe on Lesbos officially came to an end. Corinna and Sebastian sum up what they have learned in a presentation at rc3.
