Children of the Migrant Crisis A special episode of the Tonight programme from the Greek islands. It’s over a year since desperate mass migration across Europe’s southern borders began to bring tragic and distressing images to our television screens. We meet the dedicated British volunteers working to help vulnerable families and orphaned children. Rebecca Michaelides is originally from West London and now lives in Lesbos. A year ago she felt compelled to help when she saw refugees washing up on the nearby shores. As an independent volunteer not affiliated with any charity she has been helping to coordinate independent rescuers and volunteers on the southwest coast of Lesbos. Rebecca is part of the huge unofficial response to Europe’s migrant crisis. Since December over 150 youngsters who were traveling alone have ended up at a children’s refuge on the island - the Ark of the World. With the Ark Of The World primarily being a facility for Greek children, this extra influx of minors has stretched their resources. Khalsa Aid helps the Ark’s small but committed team not only with additional food drops but also with additional English language lessons in the on site classroom.
