Warm beer - for everybody something

Feeling WARM...

For the second time this week, Arthur and I spent a full night in a Methodist church, from midnight till about 8' in the morning…

That’s the moment when I already laugh imagining the faces of the readers who know us enough to know that we easily spend a full night without sleeping… but not in a church! "Or was there an electro festival in this church??"

Nice try - try again!

With four other volunteers each night, we've insured that about 30 homeless people could sleep properly, safe and warm, in one of the rooms of the Methodist church. The WARM association, via David, his wife and his sister, 3 amazing people, arrange all of it.

The WARM project provides beds and food for one week in winter for homeless people in the area. Then the next church in the are provides a warm place for a week, and so on.

Every day during this week, there turn four teams: one for the evening dinner, two for the night, one for the breakfast.

The last morning, we also helped for the breakfast. And that was great, since we then had time to talk more with the guests and to share a cozy moment with them.

The best pain perdu I ever tasted - Benny you rock

OK-ok-ok, I have to write about this!

The last morning we spent with WARM, I enjoyed a more-than-perfect French “pain perdu” (!!!), cooked by Benny, one of the volunteers. In France, you prepare pain perdu in a pan – and that’s gooood! Benny cooked it in an oven and it was … gorgeous!!!

Benny, you've made my day!!

Well, anyway. Go back to subject............ (But it was sooooo goooood!!!!!!)

Above the beds and the food, the good thing about the warm is the attention provided to the guests and the positive energy between them and the volunteers. And David make it work since 4 years now, supported by many volunteers from the church - and now from abroad!

Ed, Arthur and Tom

So thanks David, and thanks the WARM!

If you feel like helping out on a W.A.R.M. project, there are many churches pais facebook page might give you a start: Facebook - Wrapping Arms 'Round Many or just drop us a note.

For some beer, the process can last 6 months. Since we wanted to taste them, we chose beers that only need 4 weeks process.

And they are gooooood!!!!

And just before saying goodbye, here is the quizz of the day: guess what Arthur is doing in there!

Eeerrrr 'am a bit stuck though!

Be ready for the next post - the last one before our departure for Bogota...! You will then have the confirmation that Dunchies love travels to discover cultures and new environments. But who says 'culture' also says 'food'. You'll see soon how much we enjoyed it... Ooooops!!

Besos!!
