Student mobilization receives food support

On Monday, October 12, 200 kefta tajines were delivered to high school students participating in a prolonged mobilization, receiving enthusiastic responses from the students.

Initiative launched by local groups

The initiative, started on October 4 by the association Parole Vulgaire, the collective Œil au beurre noir, and the Popular People's Committee for Mutual Aid and Solidarity of Aubervilliers, aimed to support the high school movement through calls for donations and volunteers.

Volunteers provide essential supplies

During the first week of the blockade, students were able to block but lacked equipment and food. Volunteers quickly stepped in, with hospital staff donating masks, individuals printing leaflets, and a resident offering to cook a traditional Senegalese dish called tiep.

Caterers and local businesses join efforts

Tarek, a caterer from La Cuisine de Souad, contributed his van and personal savings to supply meals. The collective Œil au beurre noir plans to fund meals if needed, while local businesses like Darna and Panifixion also joined, providing sandwiches, cookies, and drinks.

Students appreciate the support

Students at the Olympe de Gouges high school in Noisy-le-Sec welcomed the food deliveries with relief, noting that the meals allowed them to remain mobilized without leaving the school premises.

Solidarity strengthens student bonds

The solidarity efforts have helped students form new friendships and feel more mature. At the Paul Robert high school in the Lilas, initial suspicion of the vehicles turned into appreciation for the volunteers' support.

Volunteers expand their reach

Wissal and Karelle from the organizing groups reported growing support, with requests for help beyond Seine-Saint-Denis. Despite logistical challenges, volunteers intend to continue as long as the mobilization lasts, ensuring they support the students without taking over the movement's direction.
