WORKSHOP WORKS
22:56
We are heading back to Calais for another instalment in our
project. We're hoping that in our absence the workshop which we have set up is
still working and that the production of shelters has not slowed down or
stopped.
We arrive back to the warehouse at midday and meet the
volunteers who have been looking after our shelter workshop whilst we have been
away. Despite having to pack down the workshop for warehouse cleaning and
reconstruct it, things have slowed down a little but have been running
smoothly. We find out that 15 more Shelters have been fully built in the Camp
and now have Families living in them. This makes us very happy that our system
works even when we are not necessarily there to manage it on a daily basis.
We get straight to work and start building after meeting all the
new volunteers. This place is like a hive, there are people buzzing around
everywhere. Sorting out clothes, tents, food, etc… There must be over 50 people
here from all over Europe - mostly UK based though - lending their time and
skills to helping these people. Its so inspiring to see people coming together,
not for profit, not for political gain, just to help those in need.
