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.
Insights into our work:

Wasser ist kein Faustpfand oder Verhandlungsmasse
Momentan ist es uns in deutschen Städten wohl mehr als sonst bewusst, wie wichtig sauberes Wasser für einen reibungslosen Alltag ist. Viele von uns kochen derzeit häufiger, als sie es sonst tun. Täglich werden wir daran erinnert, wie wichtig gründliche Handhygiene ist.
Gemeinsam sind wir stärker
Wir sind bei der Spendenkampagne des deutschen Charity-Streams Friendly Fire dabei! Gemeinsam mit #leavenoonebehind und dem Gängeviertel haben wir ein Statement zur aktuellen Situation verfasst.
Together with face shields against COVID19
At the CADUS Crisis Response Makerspace, where normally sawdust flies and welders flash, since two days there are many boxes and cartons with plastic head bands and foils. These parts are parts of face shields that are distributed from here to medical facilities with respective needs since 10th of April.
