Our little team, Camila and Isabel from Spain; Mirana from France, and Alice from Australia, left the Campsite and travelled to Almeria Port for our first day work with the children at the Red Cross Kindergarten.
It was really hot. Families were waiting in the cars prior taking the boat that will take them back home to Africa for summer holidays. Most of them have saved money during the year and will spend all the free days they have with their relatives. Crossing Europe from Belgium, Germany, France, UK, Italy or even further away, can be a huge and tiring effort for small children and for the entire family.
It took a little while since Gabriel, a Red Cross volunteer from Sierra Leona, opened the Kindergarten doors until the arrival of the first bunch of children. After four hours of mixed languages, the center was left in a colorful mess of toys, drawings and teddybears.
