Thessaloniki women knit for refugees
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A group of women from Thessaloniki had the idea to express their solidarity to the refugees by knitting mittens, beanies and scarves for the children.
"We were moved by the children's joy in Idomeni camp when we gave them the first scarves and beanies we knitted last week," said to ANA-MPA Rena Akritidou member of the group and journalist.
The group has created an account on Facebook "We knit solidarity" and a large number of Greeks participate in this effort.
"We are open to offers of wool in order to cover the increasing needs," said Akritidou adding that she recently took knitting lessons on youtube. "We are also making blankets and we want to send them to Lesvos where the need is very high," she concluded.
