MOOL volunteer, Stuart Hall, has

been working with Anglo/French

charity ‘Care4Calais’ distributing

MOOL SNUG Packs and essentials like

tents, thermals, trousers, jumpers,

boots and waterproofs.

He returned from Calais in February

and says, “The police there are

routinely destroying tents, sleeping

bags and warm clothes. The donations

that people give are making a real

difference to voiceless people who

are being victimised through policies

designed to cause suffering.”

He is referring to a harassment policy

which Calais officials deny exists.

Human Rights Watch and volunteers

on the ground are reporting routine

use of pepper spray on children, adults

and their food and water supplies by

the French riot police (CRS).

MOOL is also collecting stories from

people who have moved to Dumfries

and Galloway from other parts of

the world. These stories will form

part of an exciting project, ‘Moving

Stories’, an audio/visual performance

and choral piece, designed to help

highlight the positive impact of

migration.

By working with local organisations

too, MOOL is helping people living

in utter poverty here in Dumfries and

Galloway; providing donations like

carpets, furniture, lamps and pictures.
