What have I achieved today?
Tried to cheer up three young men all feeling very low.
One friend had ended up in hospital after trying to commit suicide.( then someone says they look like fit young men to me, not refugees!)
You will be relieved to hear not one of our Rehoboth boys but a young man who has not had the same care. The treatment they have had, sometimes their families killed is not something you just brush off.
We hope he will survive but I cannot imagine after 6 bottles of paracetemole he will have done his kidneys any good.
Another refugee in very low spirits in the North of France in a very racist area, where the young men are banned from going in any local establishment. Can you believe how that affects morale.
Two young men from Afghanistan with the help of myself, Jacky and Michel Malotaux and Anais Rondeau, brought from living on the streets of Toulouse to live with lots of young people in a nearby village.'Both are in the asylum system but somehow slipped through the net on housing.
Sorted through bags of clothes and bedding brought by lots of TAG readers, soon on its way to Bruniquel for the store room.
One of the benefits of helping refugees is meeting and being friends with the most amazing people.
All you volunteers you are just amazing.
Picked some apples from one of our trees and fed some to our donkeys. I love seeing the apples eaten as if in a press, with juice running from their mouths.
I did a test to find out which was the favourite, apples, pears or hay.
Apples came out tops
Now collapsed with a glass of red.
