News from our group at Calais, day 3

Hi Val & Malcolm,
There is progress being made in many directions.  Basic frames are being made off the camp then taken to where they're needed, along with plastic sheeting & any available insulation.  The refugees themselves are then constructing & personalising them (photo 1)  Whilst you are basking in glorious sunshine, here there is a lot of rain & winter is fast approaching.  Many of the new woodern structures now boast a chimney (photo 2) under which has been fitted a small wood-burner (photo 3).  The warehouse folk are also putting together many rocket stoves made from empty food cans (photo 4).
