It was good to meet up with Monique on the Friday of my trip to catch up and support one another. Monique does a lot of volunteering with refugees in Oostende, in fact we met in 2019 at a community fun day of sharing with locals and refugees, with Bushra & the girls. But, since then we like all the world have had the endurance challenge of the pandemic, climate crisis now Ukraine war. Like all we have each got personal issues to deal with on lifes journey. So it was a healing day going for walk and talk in the dunes by the sea. Then we found a very modern elegant cafe to have lunch.
