Brazilian Embassy
On Wednesday, 14, the missionaries participated in a meeting at the Brazilian Embassy in Greece, with the Ambassador and the Council of Citizenship of Brazilian people in that country. “We were invited to participate in this meeting to present the work conducted by the Fraternidade. We talked about the activities in the other countries, the missions in general, and the permanent mission in Greece. They all became very interested and some offered to collaborate somehow with the work”, said Shen, a missionary of the Fraternidade – International Humanitarian Federation.
During the meeting, the Brazilian Embassy showed interest in keeping contact with the Fraternidade to establish a partnership in the activity of visit to the prisons, as there are some Brazilians who are also in prisons in Greece, for several reasons.
It was informed that the Council of Citizenship connected to the Embassy will refer to the Fraternidade the contact of the people interested in collaborating with the refugees in that country.
“It was an event that opened doors to new participations and activities of humanitarian help in Greece”, said Shen.
