Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Not really sure where to put this, but...
If you wish to do something, there are many wonderful people preparing to set off for the Ukrainian border with supplies for refugees. There's nothing much more that anyone here can do short of taking up arms which may make things worse.
If you wish to help Google up your local hero and you'll find them easy enough, many seem to be attached to local football clubs, (Guildford City is organising my local one). They will tell you what they want in terms of food etc.
When you give clothes/blankets please can you make sure that every single item is:
In tip-top condition
Is warm / waterproof
Is stylish, no one wants to look like a dork, if you wouldn't want to wear it neither will they.
A big ballache for refugee charities is sifting through inappropriate donations and chucking them away. Two or three quality items are so much better than 20 bits of old crap.
And don't forget colouring books, pens, pencils and small games for the kids.
Boxed items are better than bags, they stack better in vans and don't fall about and bust open.
