The “Nest” is an open-ended play space where children can create, explore and be autonomous. Together with refugee volunteers we painted, unpacked boxes and put together furniture. It was during this time that we met Mina, a young Afghan woman, all of 19 years old, who was living in a camp with her young husband, Mehdi. Like all the others, they arrived in Lesvos by the light of the moon in an overcrowded, weathered raft coming from the shores of Turkey. Neither could swim.
