A blissful experience
Sometimes it is an absolute joy to be a volunteer, especially when it means meeting up with people who are newly arrived in the Adelaide area and starting a new life.
It was my recent privilege to meet up with this beautiful grandmother from Guatemala, her son and his family and, later her daughter in law’s sister.
After contact with their Case Manager, I delivered warm bedding to this beautiful young woman, her husband and 2 children as well.
Every bedding package had either a clean recycled quilt and a new cover or a new washable winter weight quilt with new or recycled quilt cover and some blankets and throws. Everything looked and smelt super clean and was washed, ironed and ready to go straight on to the beds.
I arrived with some Spanish phrases on paper; the family had voice activated Google Translate! Just as well because I lost the screws for the bedroom heater in the plastic packaging. Much hilarity ensued.
Sincere thanks to everyone who has donated money or goods to be distributed via Rapid Response for Refugees Circle.
