RE: How Ukrainian Refugees are living in Almere, Netherlands | 11 months of the war in Ukraine - life update

Yes, you are complaining and that is my response to your complaint about incompetent organisations.

Take my statement as "if one body doesn't work, there are other bodies that do work and want to get involved". If there is no foodsharing organisation in the Netherlands yet, start it with people who want to and can do it. Use the skills and experience of the German network for this, for example.

To be able to counteract bottlenecks like the one you are experiencing now.

For some time, I worked with my husband as a food collector and we cycled to the various bakeries, supermarkets and event locations to collect the food. As long as there are supermarkets with full shelves, bakeries that have to throw away their goods due to overproduction and events that have food catering with leftover food, you can count on the collection and distribution to work. If one place doesn't work, switch to alternatives. There are always ways to get food.

Now tell me one thing, I go to the Tafel and say please help me, and where I will get the money to buy the food for the 270 refugees? Using my own salary?

You don't need money for this. You need people and work on those things which are promising and abandon those who aren't.

If you don't want help or suggestions in response to a situation you describe as a need, then rephrase it.

If you think sharing my thoughts is a complaint then you get everything wrong.

pathetics don't work on me.

We are not beggars that we will eat leftovers and please don't think we came to Europe to chase our dreams, we were forced to leave the country. We came here for safety otherwise we would never leave our home.

There is something called a contract and as I have said, I didn't ask for a solution and as you are not in my shoe or can't experience what exactly happening, then don't give me a free lecture. And if you wanna give me a free lecture (it's an open free-speech platform) then you have to also accept my thoughts instead of telling me pathetic. You tried to give me examples of Tafel and supermarkets and as you can see I know already how Tefal and Supermarkets are working with this issue as I am part of this food chain supply and organization. The solution you are sharing here is not for me as I am a refugee as well who experienced and saw everything from both sides and decided to write this article...

You are obviously not interested in solutions.
