Day 5 over ... 2 to go. Today I am talking about the dire situation in Calais. It has been a serious situation for years - and it is only getting worse. But Care4Calais and other volunteer organizations are there working long hours to help the refugees. Donations are now over £700! Your generosity has been amazing. I'm still hoping to reach the £2,000 goal - every little bit helps. And if you donate at least £10 (or $10), I will send you a facemask made by yours truly! Just send me your mailing address to the email address on the video.
Here is my donation link: www.rationchallenge.org.uk/ka...

And if you like my coconut bowl and spoon, here is a great ethical company I can highly recommend: Cocowhoa - great customer service! www.cocowhoa.com/

It is Day 5 already. Come along with me today to talk about the situation in Calais. And to learn about another terrific charity, Care4Calais. There are some really generous people in this world. Please be safe 🙏🌷🥰🍷

I love the kayak guy! It looks so peaceful out there that I don’t blame him for wanting to be on the water every day! So hard to hear about the conditions in the camps...but harder to hear that helping another human by giving them supplies could be a crime. How incredibly sad. I wish our status as citizens of the world was more important than our status as citizens of the country we were born into.

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

You are so right. We are all the same. I simply do not understand how people don’t get that. For me it is so simple. Much love coming to you from Wales 🙏🙏🥰🍷

@lifewithpatti9531 3 года назад

Hello my dear friend. Awww I was sad because you make my heart full with all your love and giving. Wow they really are a lot stricter on the refugees there than the USA. Seems like the eating part is much easier for you this year than last year. Great learning lesson today karen. Xoxo

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Hello my sweet! It is hard not to be sad when you see treatment like this. And the continued governmental decisions to makes things even worse. I have seen it myself first hand as I have been to Calais many times. And yes! The eating part is much easier this year. I guess I am just getting better at it! Have a lovely day today 🌷🙏🥰

Red wine always hots the spot. It’s starting to get chilly over here. So we will be heading out to enjoy it before winter is back. Great video Karen!!! The beach was beautiful there!!!

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Carl - you said it. Fall is the perfect time for it. So is Christmas. Of course spring is lovely and fresh, also great. And nothing like sitting on the beach watching the sun go down ... ok. It’s a year long thing for me 😂. More beach shots coming of course. You are so amazing to give me such support. It is so so kind of you 🙏🥰🌷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Beautiful video again. And I thought the US was bad harassing those that placed water along the US border crossing areas for those trying to cross the US. Mexican border. Shame on the French for making it illegal to provide basic food and essentials to those refugees in Calais. We need more love and compassion. So much can get accomplished through cooperation and the true search for solutions. Be well. 2 more days to 🍷

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Maryanne!! You are so sweet! Yes, it is terrible for sure. It is made worse because the American Mexican border is mainly an immigration issue. These people are refugees unable to return to their home country. Thank you so so much for your support this week. It really has meant the world 🙏🌷🥰🍷

Drinking hot tea and watching the calmness of the water...so relaxing!

Drinking red wine works equally well 😂 🍷 🍷🍷🍷

Wow this video hit hard. You really make them so special. I can see how important this is to you just by the amount of effort that goes into it. So sorry for all the people. The food looked nice at least. Some garlic makes a huge difference.

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Thank you so much, Violet. It really is a tragedy what is happening. Unbelievable really. And it has been going on for years. But. We forge on and do what we can. A bunch of little voices together can make a difference. I have to believe that. Much love to you from sunny Wales 🙏🌷🥰

@SantosChronicles 3 года назад

I bet these are late night edits and to do it daily is crazy. Takes me a few days to edit our videos. You do an amazing job telling the story of the hardship. The story about the Jungle is so sad. Crazy government is saying no to providing essentials.

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

It is definitely a challenge. And been having issues with PPro. Adobe was inside my computer for a while today 🙄 I am the same. Takes me about three days to do a video too. It feels good to know I am not the only one 😂.

@vwdwchallenge 3 года назад

I live near a port in u.k and its so sad to see what is happening 😢 but as citizens we have no control over our government who do not speak for its caring people

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

It truly is sad, Wayne. You are right - once a party is in power we have little control. But we do control our vote. We can put pressure on politicians. We can fight discrimination in the courts. But it is hard, it is a struggle and it takes time. Hope you and your family are safe and doing well 🙏🌷🥰🍷

You put so much into these videos and it really shows, Karen. Such an eye opener about Calais - it makes my heart hurt💔 I'm glad the challenge is going better for you this year! Love all the beach footage. And the slo-mo seagull shot!🕊 Well done, Karen❤️

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Yay!! I did the seagull shot for you! I have so much beach footage. Don’t get me started about sunsets and sunrises 😂. Thanks so much for all of your comments. It really kept me going during the wee hours 🙏🌷🥰🍷🍷🍷

@melissatravels2023 3 года назад

Omg! Learning about how the tent and community was destroyed broke my heart!

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

And mine. I can tell you here that I didn’t even go into the real horrors. You may have noticed there were no young women in the clips. It is much, much worse than I portrayed. I gave a highly sanitized version. I was going to Calais at the end of March to volunteer in the Refugee Kitchen ... that was going to be my 2020 footage ... but obviously plans had to change. It is very hard to even comprehend. But we have to keep strong 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙏🌷🍷🍷🍷

@melissatravels2023 3 года назад

Karen Luuk sounds like the ICE camps here at the Mexican border. All of this mistreatment of other humans is beyond my comprehension. I don’t understand why people feel like it’s ok to treat people in such a way. I’m sorry that your trip plans had to change. Hopefully next year!

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

I am in pretty regular contact with them. A few months ago, they could only accept people that could volunteer a minimum of a month. Clearly I couldn't do that. But just got an email that they can now accept shorter times. And then the quarantine rules have made it impossible. So just waiting for them to lift. I have a lovely AirBNB that I stay at, on the beach (of course), and my little folding bike just takes me right there. I can hardly wait x

iknowchris can hook you up with some wine my friend!! stay safe my friend and thanks for sharing

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Chris! I feel it’s been ages! Thanks so much! Believe it or not - I have a lovely bottle sitting right here in my kitchen, ready to go! 😂 have a lovely day 🙏🌷🥰🍷

@ChristopherAlbone 3 года назад

Keep going, Karen. The red wine is getting closer every day. You are doing such a great job with the challenge and producing great videos that are raising awareness. How desperate must you be to buy an inflatable and spade. 16... so sad.

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Thanks so much, Chris. It is hard work (as you well know) but it is worth it. And yes .... that red wine is closer than you think. Today is actually the last day - so tomorrow I crack open the bottle. It will Be recorded of course. Cheers! 🥰🍷🥰🍷🥰🍷

@ChristopherAlbone 3 года назад

I look forward to see what your choice of red will be. 🙂🍷

@RenLuuk 3 года назад

Well, now you know. "Saviour". I picked a South African wine as a nod to our mutual buddy, Violet x
