Making Refuge came about because I received seed money that is enabling me to bring together three areas of interest I have been exploring for a while:
Volunteering in Calais is an opportunity to offer vital support to human-beings whose lives were derailed by climate change, limited access to resources and dangerous living conditions. Volunteering in Calais is also an opportunity to explore skillful compassion: how can we care for people whose needs are so complex while also taking care of our own well-being and the well-being of fellow volunteers.
