What a shame Oinofyta was not able to build that community further along these lines! But the people who have been part of this brilliantly sensible and streetwise project are carrying on, with you, Lisa, included. Deep in my heart, I have never left Oinofyta, and I only volunteered there for two weeks. The bags from the sewing workshop are now with the youngest members of my extended family in Hungary and Sweden.
An option I like is similar to or same as the Vegan Kibbutz Cooperatives . A kibbutz becomes self sufficient a cooperative share is for sharing in the fruits of labor. New Orleans area had refugee style camps after Katrina, it took a lot of work and helped many. All camps need vegetative food growth areas. as well as other basic services and housing and tent areas.
Hey Lisa... Rory McKenzie here. Loved your presentation. Am copying and forwarding it to others in hopes that it spawns solution based action for our countrymen and women.
This is sad to watch because Oinofyta has now so few of these things. The school, for example, had no furniture until another grassroots NGO brought some in (after which a broken window meant a half of it was promptly stolen again). Lessons happen twice a week for a few hours. The only basic services are provided by the speaker’s organisation, Do Your Part but they are pretty basic. There are no chickens, and there is also no hot water. What happened? What the speaker describes sounds brilliant. But why was it not sustained?
The camp was closed by the Ministry of Migration in November of 2017. DYP opened a community center in the nearby town of Dilesi. DYP is NOT in the camp now. The IOM is running it now.
Because the Greek government closed Lisa's camp and took it over for political reasons, so now they run it instead of Lisa. Do Your Part (or any other NGO's outside of IOM) are allowed in the camp at all. It's a tragedy.

Greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.
