I have been volunteering 3 times in Greece last year through different missions and organizations to offer a humane response to the &quot;<em>refugee crisis</em>&quot;. The last time was in December and it was to <strong>create my own project and organization</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477943/group_sport_pic-1515754053.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In October last year, I started my own NGO, <strong><em>Sport For Refugees</em></strong>. The goal of the organization is to get refugees <strong>motivated</strong>, to get them <strong>moving </strong>and to <strong>keep them</strong> <strong>away from depression with sport</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#39;ve started the project on the Greek Island of <strong>Lesvos </strong>with very good results as many refugee men joined our <strong>daily trainings</strong> and were very keen on always trying to <strong>improve </strong>and <strong>give their best</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477680/2017-12-21-PHOTO-00000020-1515674869.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The team started <strong>running everyday</strong>, doing <strong>core and strength workouts</strong> as well as some<strong> martial arts trainings</strong> and <strong>yoga classes</strong> in a community center for refugees called <em><strong>One Happy Family</strong></em>. In the evenings we also started joining<strong> Bikram yoga classes </strong>offered by a professional teacher in the capital city of the Island, Mytilini.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Sport For Refugees </strong></em>is now collaborating with <strong><em>Lesvos Yoga Project</em></strong> in order to <strong>build a space for refugees to train indoors</strong> and <strong>do yoga</strong> as well as meditation. This space would be build on the site of the community center to gather the facilities and make it as easy as possible for refugees to reach and stay everyday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477678/26132734_10214969422890197_1664141994_o-1515674801.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I introduced the project to <strong>Jaimie </strong>in late December and we agreed that a <strong>documentary </strong>to follow the creation and development of the NGO would be a perfect way to <strong>raise awareness</strong> towards a bigger audience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477682/26654769_974211116078001_213158853_o-1515675249.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hi, my name is <strong>Jaimie Peeters</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the past 10 years I have been a <strong>photographer </strong>and <strong>videographer </strong>in both the fashion and the wedding industry. My <strong>passion for photography</strong> came to me after having discovered the many documentary photographers from the black and white era. <strong>I taught myself to photograph </strong>with nothing more than a <strong>Leica M6</strong>, a <strong>50mm lens </strong>and a bag of black and white film.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next to being a photographer I am also a <strong>recreational runner </strong>and <strong>triathlete</strong>. I am a true believer that <u><strong>sport isn&rsquo;t just a natural medicine for your body but even more so for your mind.</strong></u> Looking at my own life and health, both have changed tremendously after starting this new path of sports and exercise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477941/21427162_348219358955293_8507685914727588438_o-1515753924.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On an even more personal note; growing up in this world today I have come to be a <strong>passionate advocate for a better world</strong>. Sharing thousands of news, images, videos and more all on the topic of <strong>people in need</strong>, <strong>animals in need</strong>, hoping that I can contribute to <strong>create some awareness</strong> to what we are doing to each-other. For years I have waited for my chance to truly contribute with my skills and talent.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>And that day has come</strong></em>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Together with Estelle I want to make a <strong>documentary </strong>about Estelle&rsquo;s project <strong><em>Sport For Refugees</em></strong>, which on it&rsquo;s own is a magnificent project. But also I want to see up close <strong>how sports can mentally help the refugees</strong> in handling their dire situation a bit better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477942/21552006_348221885621707_3339898599944045432_o-1515753966.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I want to <strong>document </strong>the <strong>progress </strong>and <strong>effect </strong>of <strong>teaching </strong>and <strong>sharing sports </strong>and <strong>exercise with them</strong>, and <strong>share this with the world.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe this could be a beautiful story, <strong>a story about people helping people</strong>, about <strong>people </strong>in need <strong>smiling </strong>and <strong>laughing</strong>. <strong>People finding new passion</strong>, <strong>setting new goals</strong> and <strong>harvesting more courage</strong> by the simple task of <strong>running in a group</strong>, <strong>practicing yoga </strong>and <strong>meditation </strong>and more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/477689/IMG_2261-1515676781.jpeg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The idea is to share the documentary on social media; <em>youtube, facebook, Vimeo</em> anything that begets the most exposure to <strong>create the maximum awareness</strong>.</p>
