  • June 2020 – Food pallet #14
  • Shortly after the thirteenth palette of food was shipped, which, like all the others, was to be delivered to our Greek friend S., we decided to also supply our new partners H. & I. with a pallet. The current pandemic is also affecting them. There are more cats at the feeding sites which eked out […]

  • April 2020 – Food pallet #13
  • This food pallet has cost us a lot of nerves! But read for yourself what our “pallet manager” Sandra A. was reporting… April 1, 2020 First things first: Yesterday, on March 31, the food pallet arrived in Athens! How long it will take before the shipping company delivers it on the island is uncertain. But […]

  • April 13, 2020 – Mourning and confidence
  • Author: Dr Marianne Taatz-Jacobi Today it is the first anniversary of Marie’s death. We feel sad and reflective. We remember exactly how we have been racked by the news the next day. It felt unreal. Why would a young woman such as Marie was die so suddenly from one minute to another? There is still […]

  • February 2020 – Gone with the Wind
  • February 14 & 15, 2020 It’s mid-February and it’s time to check if everything´s alright on Andros. This time Lavinia sets off again with her companions. And as always, we open the travelogue with a photo of the traditional “Andros suitcase”! It is stuffed with two boxes, medication, milk powder, parasite agents and other utilities. […]

  • February 2020 – The dozen is complete!
  • On February 12 the twelfth food pallet reached Andros today. The pallet had already started on January 23 and reached Athens pretty quickly. However, the freight carrier only goes to the island once a week, so it took longer than expected from Athens to Andros. A total of 270 kg of canned food and 270 […]

  • January 2020 – Review of the year
  • The year 2019 was anything but straightforward. It was a roller coaster ride with ups and downs through and through. The first half of the year was mainly to cope with the loss of Marie and to reorganize ourself in order to continue the project she was raising up. This was achieved through will power, […]

  • December 2019 – The project is getting bigger
  • So far, our activities together with our Greek friends and partners have been limited to feeding sites on the less touristical side of the island. Due to the fact that we became more and more present with our homepage and on Facebook while establishing the association, we were asked for help several times during our […]

  • October 2019 – Food pallet #11
  • While Jörg explored the actual situation on Andros, he also took a look at the regularly sent from us feed stocks that store at S. Or better should store, because only a scanty remnant is left… It’s a good thing that Jörg had even bought up existing stocks on the mainland, so that there will […]

  • October 2019 – Wasilios´ Days
  • October 7, 2019 Even while Lavinia was planning her July trip, it was clear that this could not be the last Andros ride for this year. By autumn at the latest, we have to look that everything´s all right and tackle what Lavinia could already see as the next task. However, this time she did […]
