The drawing in the image have been painted by the refugees of the Oinofyta Camp in Greece. As it is explained in the video below, painting is a way to feel home and therefore feel better. We ask you to donate to People of the Earth, the organization helping the refugees, in order to buy painting material.

Six Characters search for an author to allow them to tell their story. In Kairos Italy Theater‘s version, the characters are immigrants in search of a country where they can tell and live their stories. Using the words written by Pirandello, in Italian, English and other languages, KIT presents a piece that reflects upon the contemporary problems of migration.
The Goddard Riverside Bernie Wohl performances will see the participation of members of the community.
In ENGLISH, ITALIAN and other languages.
Characters in Search of a Country is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. LMCC.net.
The performance is also made possible by Bernie Wohl Center at Goddard Community Service and by Material for the Arts.
