The group performs visits to domiciles to see the situation of the refugees living in precarious rooms. When visiting a family of 20 people living in a hive with 4 rooms, the group found sick elderly and financial difficulties.

In another visit to a family of 12 people living in an improvised shed, barefoot children suffer with the cold.

The female missionaries have a meeting with the female Syrian refugees that are getting organized to create a community with the support of the ASAM.

Last night in meeting with the ASAM, representatives of the ONG express astonishment and gratitude for the great amount of missionaries coming from a region so far away. They also decided to continue with some of the things the group has done, such as workshops and play-acting for children and the attendance with alternative therapies.
