According to the Greek European Union News Agency, Greek Chinese w88 sports betting rescue volunteers, composed of the Greek Overseas Chinese Women's Association, the Athens Business Confucius Institute, local Chinese businessmen, and Chinese-funded institutions, recently went to Lesvos, the fourth largest island in Greece, to participate in w88 sports betting rescue activities.

This is the first time that Greek Chinese have organized volunteers to go to the island to participate in w88 sports betting rescue work since the w88 sports betting wave broke out in Europe. The charity of the overseas Chinese has been unanimously praised by the local government, the United Nations and the European Union officials responsible for Greek w88 sports betting affairs.

It is reported that the Greek Chinese w88 sports betting rescue volunteer team is the 85th civil society group welcomed by Lesvos to participate in w88 sports betting rescue. After arriving in Lesbos, the Chinese volunteers visited the w88 sports betting camps and cooperated with a team of Swiss volunteers to participate in w88 sports betting rescue on the coast of Mitilini. They provided help to more than 140 refugees who had just arrived in Lesvos in kayaks and provided food and clothing to the refugees.

President Chen Xueyan of the Greek Chinese Women’s Association,Professor Zu Lijun, Chinese Director of the Athens Business Confucius Institute, Chinese doctor Lei Sheng, Chinese businessman Xia Haiguang and others also specially bought 500 pairs of socks, 14 boxes of bananas and oranges and 10 boxes of children's food based on the needs of the refugees and distributed them to the refugees. The assisted refugees were grateful for the Chinese people's kindness and raised their hands to express their gratitude.

According to Zu Lijun, Chinese Director of the Athens Business Confucius InstituteIntroduction: Since last year, a large number of refugees from the Middle East have fled to various European countries via Greece with their families to escape the war. The influx of a large number of refugees has brought unprecedented pressure to the Greek government and society, which urgently needs the participation and rescue of social forces. In particular, the refugees who have just arrived in Greece are short of food and clothing and are in urgent need of social help and resettlement.

Chen Xueyan, president of the Overseas Chinese Women's Association in Greece, said that this volunteer rescue activity has received strong support from the Chinese community in Greece and has been praised by officials from the United Nations and the European Union responsible for w88 sports betting affairs in Greece. This is an affirmation of the Chinese community's active participation in social welfare activities and reflects the social responsibility of the Chinese in Greece.

The EU official in charge of w88 sports betting affairs in Greece thanks the overseas Chinese for their support of the w88 sports betting work, and calls on more social groups, caring people, and Chinese friends to lend a helping hand to the refugees to help them get out of trouble and give society more love, care and warmth.
