In Caen, Ukrainian refugees put their suitcases in an apartment renovated by young people

Solidarity is organized in Normandy to help refugees. Young people expressed the desire to support them.

In Caen, a Ukrainian family has moved into a completely renovated apartment. Three women and five children were welcomed by young people in reintegration who took charge of the renovation work on this vast five-bedroom dwelling. A first class from the Oasis vocational high school took care of the decoration to make the place warm. In front of this beautiful gesture of solidarity, the emotion is at its height.

We weren’t expecting that. We didn’t expect people to be so welcoming and to prepare all this for us.

In this fully equipped accommodation, the kitchen still smells new, and everything you need for the evening meal is in the fridge. Food aid for the first few days, before the family becomes independent. On the shelves of some rooms, children’s books were left by the nuns who occupied the accommodation until now before making it available to the refugees.

I admire what the entire youth community has done to welcome people in need.
