Story

Barry and I are driving a rickshaw across India during the monsoon season to raise money for Cool Earth. We’ll be posting regular updates on our Instagram account (@teamcraggyislandcreameries) and our blog (https://blogging.theadventurists.com/tracking/team/craggy-island-creameries) so please follow these to get the latest news!

Any money raised in this fundraiser will be split equally between Distribute Aid and The Workshop Belgrade.

  • Distribute Aid is building a free, online platform to reimagine the humanitarian aid supply chain. Our platform provides online tech tools to grassroots refugee aid groups, establishing supply-chain infrastructure and increasing ease of communication and collaboration. We also work directly with our broad network of aid groups to coordinate specialty and emergency shipments. Donations like yours are crucial to support our operations and allow us to offer our tools for free. $5 provides a day of housing for one of our on-site volunteers. $20 covers the cost of one of our servers or online tools for a month. $50 will allow us to ship $1,000 worth of humanitarian aid! You can find more information at https://distributeaid.org.

  • As the only solely educational-focused facilities for refugees in Belgrade, The Workshop is committed to providing quality individual and appropriate language-learning and skills-building classes to refugees. In 2017, following the changing nature of the refugee crisis in Serbia where people became stuck for an extended period of time, Refugee Aid Serbia and North Star decided to collaborate to provide more structural and sustainable support to the refugee population – and The Workshop was born. By today, over 180 different students have come through the door, and it relies on private donations to continue its work in providing education to refugees living in Belgrade's camp and those who are living in informal settings.
