Since quarantine started, we've shifted the way our podcasts go and for the last few weeks, Candace and Dan have been teaming up to chit chat and answer questions from YBCers on Instagram.

In today's podcast we are speaking with Candace's longtime friend Bethany Snow, former U.S. Army Linguist, who has volunteered multiple times in Lesvos, Greece to help thousands of refugees. We believe knowledge is power, and since there isn't much from the region that mainstream media is reporting, we thought it would be helpful to share, and hopefully to inspire our community to be a little gentler, a little more kind, and perhaps offer help to those in their community who may need it. Tune in to see how you can help, and please check out the links below for more information on volunteering, donating and the evolving situation in Greece. Bethany Snow is an ESL teacher, currently pursuing a Master of Science in Education in her home state of Maine. She is a U.S. Army veteran, language and linguistics enthusiast, and reality TV junky. She has dedicated the better part of her life to social justice and humanitarian causes working with organizations such as the ACLU and CommonDreams.org, but the work she is most proud of is the 13 months spent volunteering with refugees and asylum-seekers on the island of Lesvos, Greece. She lives by the mantra that even if you cannot help everyone, you can always help someone.  -- If you want to support the efforts of groups working directly with refugee and asylum-seekers, these are incredible organizations. It's important to remember how many moving parts there are to this crisis - From the rescue boats that pull them from the water, to the groups providing clothing and food, to the medical and trauma care, to the teachers who are committed to making sure the children are able to continue their education. It really does take a village. https://helprefugees.org/   https://www.donate4refugees.org/ http://www.refugeerescue.co.uk/ http://www.asterias-starfish.org/en/ https://bootvluchteling.nl/en/ Articles that give some background on the crisis/ongoing news: The Atlantic - Greece's Moria Refugee Camp The Guardian - Moria Refugee Camp Are You Syrious - (Are You Syrious is an invaluable resource for up to date news from the frontlines of the crisis.) To learn more about volunteering, here is a great resource  to see available opportunities and provide information about the organizations and where they operate.
