Kayra Martinez isn’t an artist. But while volunteering in refugee camps in northern Greece, she started bringing in art supplies to the children. She realized this was their way to communicate—to express the trauma they’d been through and to communicate with each other. This launched her into a journey she never expected, founding a nonprofit called Love Without Borders for Refugees in Need. “I have no background in art therapy,” she said. “I don’t claim that this is art therapy, but to just give [the children] those tools was the most powerful thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
