My thoughts and feelings on LaLande welcoming a refugee from Ukraine are mixed.
Assuming this woman is an adult and she contacted and asked to go to LaLande (as a volunteer?)
Then who am I to judge her decision.
Assuming again, that she watches the vlogs , perhaps going to a place she feels she is familiar with, makes her ordeal a tad less scary for her ?
Perhaps she has wanted to volunteer for a while ?
So many people from all over the world WANT to volunteer there and WANT to be on camera
My fear is that she will feel/ be trapped at LaLande. If she decides this isn’t the place for her, will she be able to go somewhere else ? Or will she feel she has no other options?
Will she be given assistance to access the resources available to refugees ?
Will she be made to feel she has to work at LaLande or maybe she will want to work so she feels useful.
Will she be exploited ? My belief is that she will be. I just hope that she doesn’t feel she is obliged to be on camera.
Or work the BnB without being paid.
Also. How long term is this arrangement ? ....... not just for Easter
Only time will tell. Maybe with the magnifying glass tattle and others have put on SJ ........
