About Aid Delivery Mission: “Who we are? An ever changing and chaotic refugee crisis calls for a flexible approach, therefore we are combining an extensive experience of mobile kitchens and providing food, with our ability to reflect on what is needed, where and when.
Thousands of people are stuck around various borders in unsupported makeshift camps, so far the winter has been forgiving, but that is already changing.
We are based on voluntary work depending on donations, but we need help, especially financial support to cover transport costs and food supplies.
1000 x Thanks
Thanks to your support we have distributed more than half a million meals …
Thanks also to all the volunteers who, through rain and sun, at impossible hours and under difficult circumstances, prepared and distributed all these meals.
The Aid Delivery Mission of the Feniks Foundation, originally scheduled for three months, has lasted for more than half a year, thanks to your help.
In these six months, volunteers have provided more than 500,000 meals to the refugees in and around Idomeni at the Greek Macedonian border.
The first months our support mainly existed out of distributing hot meals, since April 2016 we also provided food in the form of food packages with homemade rocket stove’s to some groups.
We have chosen for this because people by getting back a small piece of self-sufficiency, also recover a little self-respect.
The unofficial camps around Idomeni are now cleared and most of the refugees are transferred to military camps.
The ADM has returned to its home port and is preparing for and thinking about the next project.
We are not an “official charity” but at the moment it will necessary again, we will be ready with our pots and pans, stir bars and vegetable cleavers.
Without your help we can not run any next project, so we’ll keep you posted.
Thanks !!!”

Update from the Aid Delivery Mission, February 2nd 2016: Thousands of new arrivals
As the ferry strike between Athens and the Greek islands ended last Monday, thousands of refugees that had been stuck on the islands for days took their chances and started their journey up north. This meant and still means that the amount of refugees arriving here to the border at Idomeni has increased and is still increasing by thousands of people.

Gas Station: Yesterday we and many of the NGO’s were totally overwhelmed by the numbers of refugees at the gas station. It was estimated that there where over 6000 people at the station. They were stuck there for many hours (and many days at other places before – like the islands) Mainly because of a lack of information and frustration around 2000 refugees walked through the police line for a courageous 20 km walk towards the border carrying their children, babies and luggage. The police tried to stop them, but they started whistling and singing to call for everybody to walk through. It was really awesome to see a lot of the younger ones dancing and singing as they started their walk. All of this was happening whilst we were serving food.

The camp: The MSF camp with a capacity of 1500 people was totally overwhelmed with around 5000 people. MSF opened up a second camp previously used for storage even though they where not allowed by the authorities. It was really intense. Thousands of people sleeping in the cold outside, lots of them with children and babies and not enough blankets. And more and more arriving after walking for 20 km from the gas station. There where not enough people to help and we did what we could, distributing blankets, helping people carrying their belongings and babies, setting up tents, making baby food, finding parents of lost kids and serving food. There was even a call for help from a man who’s four months pregnant woman was about to give birth..
