Making Peoples' Lives Better

Due to the rapid changing situation on the ground, you never know who is going to walk in the door next, what they will need, can you help them or if you can’t, can you find someone that can.

Often volunteers will come into the centre and then be gone. Either because its time for them to go home or they have found a need for them to do good somewhere else. Sometimes we are able to get contact details and pictures but sometimes we are not.

‘Just to let you know that the tank of fuel that you provided us with was well spent.  Yesterday we arrived at a refugee centre to find that a bus that had been due to take people to a nearby train station had not turned up.  We did four trips to the station in conjunction with a UN Representative and got over 40 people to the next step on their journey.  We then took 8 children and three adults to Warsaw also for the UN Representative.’

Just because we don’t get pictures, find out where they are from or what they do in ‘normal times’ doesn’t mean that what they have done or are doing isn’t worth sharing. We will always endeavor to get photos as they seem to have more impact than words.

We are in a time that none of us ever dreamed we would ever witness but we are baring witness to it. We need to ensure that everyone’s words are captured and everyone’s stories are shared. We have to be the change and we will be the change if we continue to do what we can to make peoples’ lives better.
