Refugees arriving in Poland are looked after by NGOs and associations from all over Europe, including France. Two high schools in Occitania have also mobilized to bring food and medicine, Saturday March 12.
From the height of their 18 years, young people are about to live the trip of their lives. Eight high school students, who are learning the profession of truck driver in Occitania, will this time drive their school vehicle transformed into a humanitarian convoy to Poland, Saturday March 12. “If someone had told me that 15 days ago, I would have said: ‘No it’s not possible’. We didn’t hesitate, in the half hour we found out, it was done“says Morgan, a student.
Since Monday, his high school has mobilized to fill four heavyweights. This represents 1,000 boxes of food donations from all over the region. Inès, another student, will also take the wheel on the French part of this long journey. They will travel 2,500 km across Europe, until the finish, a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border. At their side, their driving instructors will also take the wheel. “They will learn more than they will have learned in a year“, rejoices one of their professor.
