About
Logan and Kelly are serving with All4Aid at the All4Aid Community Centre in Larnaca, Cyprus. Logan serves as the Head of Operations of the center and oversees the day-to-day operations, while also looking for new ways to expand the ministries offered.
Here are the current programs running at the centre:
- A shop that is open two days per week which offers clothing, household items, toys, etc. These items are free and people are able to choose the items that they need.
- Mother/baby play group
- Mother/baby distribution which allows for moms to request specific items needed; along with providing hospital bags packed with brand new items for newborns
- Crafting classes (sewing, knitting, crochet, painting, etc.)
- English and Greek classes
- Public health education
In the future we will be starting a computer/tech class and various children's programs.
Kelly's focus is primarily on raising their three young children, but she helps out at the center when she is able.
Ministry Focus
Cyprus is a small island nation located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Cyprus has one of the largest per capita populations of asylum seekers in Europe. There are two refugee camps in Cyprus which operate mainly as registration hubs. Refugees will stay in them for a relatively short time (a few weeks to a few months) when they arrive. Asylum seekers are then left to find housing and provide for their needs by themselves. The monthly stipend they are given is below the basic cost of living. As a result, many individuals, families and children are forced to live under challenging conditions.
