Here are a few highlights of June and July within YSR. 

July : 

• Starting off strong, the Athens team and some members from the community attended Refugee Week where our Muay Thai coach, Ali held a fun workshop followed later on by a friendly competition of gymnastics- we had great fun.

• YSR held a an event  SWIM FOR GOOD off which we had participants from all over the globe such as Geneva , Ouganda , Sri Lanka, Paris and the two locations in Greece ( Athens and Lesvos) it was a great success to raise awareness of the struggle people crossing from turkey to Lesvos go through.  

June : 

• We took part in the Reillfugee Festival organized by our partner La Fourmiliere as well as joined a 5km race together with many Parisian runners, the race was organized by our partner MMSports.
