No question of leaving as many as the first time, this second solidarity convoy wants to be more organized.

Fewer trucks, but more trucks for a total load of 36 tonnes

“There are about ten drivers, only experienced people”explains Elodie, organizer of solidarity convoys since the beginning of the adventure. The goal is also to save money. : “we spent almost 20,000 euros the first time, now it will be around 8,000”continues Elodie.
