That's very neat. Nobody around my neck of the woods even knows what I'm talking about. They say they do, and then they get a funny look on their faces when I explain it to them.  The mind is a weird and mysterious place

I have just finished my first full shift for Crisis at Christmas. Crisis is a homeless charity in the UK which for the past 30+ years has run homeless shelters around the UK There are 11 in London this year and one is in Croydon. The shelters provides food, beds, and a safe environment for homeless people. They also have showers, advice centres, medical personal, and safe storage for all guest possessions., plus an internet cafe. This runs for a week and is totally staffed by volunteers, all food and equipment is donated. Last night was the fist night the shelter was open and had 50 sleepers, they are expecting 200+ during the week. There were around 200 volunteers for the "day shift" and you can end up doing, anything, I helped prepare the cafe, helped unload the food, cleaned toilets and guided the guests at different spots. The centre is in a school, as it has all the facilities needed and is of course empty at this time of year. What is totally humbling is just how grateful the guests are many came up to me and just wanted to shake my hand and wish me a happy Christmas. I also met lots of volunteers who just wanted to help in any way they could. Altogether an eye opening experience. I will be doing another "day shift" (7:45 am to 4pm) on Thursday, followed by a "night shift" (10:15pm to 8:30am) on Friday then help with the "close down" and clear up on Sunday. ID: 1971862 · |

I know exactly what it is like Bernie. I did that job for a paycheck years back. I used to be a assistant manager at a Salvation Army homeless shelter years back.

Thank you both for your hard work. I have been an officer or on the board of directors of several organizations that help feed and clothe those less fortunate. Volunteers and staff make it possible to do sooooo much. Thank you. Did I just notice that I forgot to update my avatar? ID: 1971962 · |

I can see the lawyers making a killing out of this, and everyone else losing, big time. New building fully evacuated for second time in 4 days. Residents of Sydney's Opal Tower have been told to leave for a second time in four days to enable the company and investigators to conduct a "comprehensive investigation" into a crack on the tenth floor of the building.
