Austin is aged 20 from the USA and Sue is 68 from the UK, but they are both united by a desire to put others first. They are fantastic volunteers who have given up their time and energy to help refugees in Greece and do the important job of co-ordinating our other volunteers’ activities on the camps.
They talk about what motivated them to come and to come back (5 times in Sue’s case!), what they like about the job and what is tough.
Volunteering with the right attitude is extremely rewarding. It’s about putting others first, staying cheerful and showing empathy not just for what refugees have to endure but for our fellow volunteers.
Please listen to these 2 fine humans and celebrate our unity in diversity.

You can listen online by pressing play above. Or you can download it by clicking on the little down arrow.
A better idea is to have our weekly episodes automatically downloaded to your mobile so you never miss one. You will need a podcast or podcatcher app.
On an iPhone: ‘Podcasts’ is already on your phone. Open the app, search for ‘Standing with Refugees’, click on our show (it has our red logo), then click Subscribe.
With iTunes: Open iTunes, search for ‘Standing with Refugees’, click on our show (it has our red logo), then click Subscribe.
On Android: Download an app. We use Podbean but Podcast Addict or Podcast Player are others. Search for ‘Standing with Refugees’, click on our show (it has our red logo), then click either Subscribe or Follow.
Then, every Monday morning, our show will magically appear on your mobile and you can listen wherever and whenever you want. These apps have setting so that they will only download over WiFi so they don’t use up your data allowance, and they will remove the episode after listening so they don’t take up your memory.
