Volunteer Experience
I volunteered with La Maraude, a community organisation based in Marseille, France, dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness. As part of a weekly outreach team, we visited areas across the city where unhoused individuals and families were known to gather, including temporary accommodation sites and hotels housing those living in poverty. We provided nutritious, home-cooked meals—often prepared by members of the North African migrant community—fostering a sense of dignity, cultural connection, and care for those in need.
