Wow, what a day. The middle of the night was spent planning how to perfect a production line & we did it... There are now 5 teams building frames, volunteers supervising to begin with, we bought alot of saws, hammers & buckets this morning so that each helper has their tools - to the refugees helping this is a massive incentive. We've made a deal, build for a week & get a shelter... Ates or Bash as we've nicknamed him had recruited by 9am more than 10 refugees to help, they have moved their tents into a circle around the construction site with all the materials in the middle so they can be kept an eye on. The soup kitchen for the workers is up & running - we have a happy multi lingual workforce, well fed, well clothed with responsibility & self pride growing by the minute, people power - this is what it's all about & i tell you what it's growing so fast - such exciting stuff. Met some amazing volunteers today, people with focus & initiative. Daily deliveries of wood have been arranged, so no more time wasting in that direction, our target is 10 shelters a day, if, when we leave, the set up is running as smoothly as we think it will be that means 2000 refugees will be housed within 2 months. Leaving was going to be tomorrow morning but is now Friday... we just can't drag ourselves away.... Great day, great things, great thanks to all who have donated so far. Laura & Sid x
