Commitment is a duty !
The non-profit organization (bip) has been existing for one year.
Thanks to your donations, we distribute each week more than 250 meals to the homeless and families in a difficult situation.
Among families in a difficult situation, there are many single-parent families: single women with children.
Good meals are provided to us.
Right now, and soon in winter, they will bring a lot which is good.
And I love roast chicken…with shrimps. Unfortunately, there are no shrimps.
This is an idiot, Madam. I have nothing to say about them.
But we do our best to provide what we can.
Gosh, would you let me talk ?
Sorry, go on.
Make him shut up with a candle.
Tell us, if you had a message to give to the government concerning your situation and that of all those who are homeless today, tonight.
The government must do something to…
They should provide us with housing and everything.
Because I’ve seen people here in Saint-Gilles, where there is the subway, there was a woman and a man with a mattress and a baby and a little girl, I don’t know how old she was
. The prosecutor came and they sent the children in public institutions or with other families.
Tell us, how long have you been in a precarious situation like this?
Ouaouh, a long time…
A very long time ?
Yeah…
More than 5 years ?
Ouais…
More than 10 years ?
Yeah…
Heeey, don’t go any further !
I’m asking.
10 years…
And if you had a little word to say about the organization ?
They work very well, it’s good food, that’s what matters to my stomach.
But me it’s chicken and tomato soup!
And potatoes…
And tomato soup.
Tomato soup, ok.
And coffee !
Ok.
You know what she does with me?
She goes to the prom with me. You know what she does with me?
She goes to the prom with me.
There, you see. She took the pictures. You have missed your shot !
No, we’re friends you and me.
I’m distributing help to the homeless. I realized that it takes one event to end up in the street.
Al hamdoulillah, we have a good situation, we have a good living ….
And there are people in need. And I think it’s just good to help those people who are forgotten by the society.
Could you explain to us since when are you in a precarious and difficult situations.
Well, it’s been 4 years.
I’m homeless because my owner fired me like this. He needed the apartment for his son.
So he fired me out. I’ve benn homeless for a year and half
Then I found a home, but the problem is that during that year outside I got a nasty disease.
Even with the CPAS (Public Center for Social Action) that does not provide health care, I can not cope financially.
The medicines costs me 150€ each month.
With 150€, you can already live better.
I agree if we invest money for medical research and everything.
But if it’s to send soldiers or money to fight against people, I don’t agree.
A good friend of mine convinced me to come to (bip) Initially, I came out of curiosity
And I quickly realized that I could be useful to someone else.
This is not the first time that we meet concerning the distributions we organize on Wednesday evenings. How could we be more helpful ?
Give more chicken !
Ok
I joined the team for its humanitarian work which treat everyone equally: gypsies, homeless and people in a difficult situation.
What is interesting and what I liked from the beginning in this organization is that it operates without subsidies,
only from donations and there is a lot of work ahead which is made of food raising as we do here, in the parking of a supermarket.
We raise people’s awareness of the plight of the poor, but also their commitment towards the weaker.
I’ve been moved by several activities,
for the distributions that provide food and moral support to people who are in need.
I’ve always said, as a human being, it is our duty to show solidarity towards the poor, who need us and who are abandoned by the society.
