A team of bloggers Xeblogarisma has been voluntarily providing help to prisoners in Greece. In these facilities there are 350 women with 22 children age 0-3. With the economic crisis the state funding has gone to minimal and these people are left without essentials like diapers, toilet paper and soap, depending completely on the help of the volunteers. We have already given bags of clothes and shoes for their previous bazaar, and we can say all the good words about the people involved in Xeblogarisma and their wholehearted devotion.
Over the next 10 days we will gather most needed things and deliver them to the prison on December 19th.

If you want to help, from December 9th to 19th , any working day between 16:30-20:30, you can bring to Athens yoga studio following items listed by priority:

1. Telephone cards of OTE (not hrono-cards), toilet paper, diapers, baby-wipes, shampoo, tooth brushes, toothpaste, pads for feminine hygiene, shavers
2. Towels, Sheets, single blankets and warm covers
3. A4 paper for the Second Opportunity School
4. Books in Albanian, Bulgarian, Russia, Chinese, Ukranian languages (many women are from these countries)
