More and more people are fleeing across the Mediterranean to Europe. Often under life-threatening conditions.

This Sunday, May 12, is one of the most important days of the year. Mother's Day. The day to let your mom know how much you love her and how grateful you are for her sacrifice, love and affection.

Invite your mom over and enjoy a concert, a play or even just a walk together. 💖
From us again: a huge thank you to all moms! 🥰
