  • During this trip we will be teaming up with Medicine Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) as well as Circle of Blue, a non for profit providing critical information on the global freshwater crisis. Grants from New York University and Projects for Peace, have also enabled the continuation of our work.

  • Our goal this mission is to draw attention to the ongoing migrant reception crisis in Europe while also learning how and why people are taking dangerous measures to cross the Mediterranean Sea. We will be creating photo, video, and audio content to share not only our website, but also with our partners.
