Guilty as charged!
Right in front of my nose, huge buildings, occupied by hundreds of families.
Downtown San Paulo, Brazil.
Few blocks from the City Hall, the Stock Exchange, the Central Bank among so many other fundamental, worthy and basic institutions.
In just one of the buildings, 475 families occupies 27 unfinished floors.
Kids play and run.
Clotheslines on the outside of the building, without any protection from falling down and in front of the entire city.
Windows, with breathtaking views, of one of the biggest and most populated cities on the Planet, made of compensated wood or sticks, even at the 27th floor.
People that use strength and organization to impose their reality, to a society that doesn’t care to listen.
Guilty as charged!

Christmas time in New York City!
Fun times, to be sure... but not the same kind of fun as Christmas time in, say, Brazil would be. Sure, there are no Christmas Trees south of the border, but there are plenty of margaritas.
I was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride on this NYC adventure. See what they have to say about it.

When the so-called Balkan route was closed in 2016, ten thousands of refugees got stuck in the north - a poor region, already considerably struck by the economical crisis. In the 30.000 people town of #Kilkis near Thessaloniki, several natives decided to help the refugees around them anyway. They started a grass roots initiative from scratch, without any help from authorities.
A key part of their work with Omnes is their intense monitoring of the people they take care of. Because they do monthly surveys, they posess precise information about the skills, profession, social situation and special needs of each person. The data - anonymized - is being published openly, which led to less prejudices and more understanding in the community.
Because of this, they were able to get support by the community and to built up a network, providing decent living conditions for the refugee families. In Kilkis, they live in apartments - in a lot of other places in Greece, they are forced to live in isolated camps.
One of the walls in the Omnes office is plastered by information boards (as seen on the picture) - with the number of every apartment and all the important information about the people, who live there.
In addition, Omnes opened up an "inclusion center" in the city, open for every member facing special challenges, like for instance senior citizens who live alone or disabled people. Because most of the refugees are given the feeling of being normal, accepted neighbours, they are more willing to give back to society.
Today, Omnes is constantly taking care of about 550 people. The model was discussed as a positive example of creating better chances for proper inclusion at several conferences in Europe.
