Anne Bouvagnet hasn't added a story.
5 years ago Sam, Miguel and their small children finally moved to Portugal spending their life savings buying a piece of land where they could live and work. Thanks to their hard work, their business became successful enough to enable them to live their dream of low-impact living by being great hosts to people from all around the world.
il y a 5 ans, Sam, Miguel et leur fils Juan se sont finalement installés au Portugal. Ils ont investi leurs économies afin d'acheter un bout de terre où ils pourraient vivre et travailler. Grâce à un travail de longue haleine, leur projet se transforma en réussite et leur permit de vivre leur rêve de vie écologique en recevant avec succès des personnes du monde entier.
Last week fire storm has made tremendous destructions to their area. For 24h women and children had to take refuge in the village buildings whilst the men were preventing the fire entering the village with very basic private equipments as the national scale of the fire left the local population without any support from firemen. All communications were cut, and many feared for their lives.
La semaine dernière un terrible incendie a provoqué des destructions d'une énorme ampleur dans tout le centre du pays. Durant 24h les femmes et les enfants se sont protégés dans les bâtiments du village pendant que les habitants essayaient d'empêcher le feu de s'introduire dans les maisons, avec des équipements très réduits et sans aide des pompiers qui étaient occupés ailleurs due à l'ampleur incontrôlable du feu. Toutes les communications étaient coupées et nombreux eurent peur de mourir.
When they got back to the land, it was a site of massive destruction. Only two structures remain (2 yurts both needing work, that were being used by community and friends). Without them, they could never hope to stay and lead their project forward.Their house, outbuildings (bathroom and kitchen), and their beautiful rental yurt were reduced to ashes along with all personal belongings. The water pipes have melted and the water system is destroyed, the solar panels have exploded and the power station is gone, the wood shed has burnt down and all of their tools melted (strimmer, chainsaw, generator, all power tools, garden equipment...) Their green paradise has turned into an apocalyptic nightmare.
Lorsqu'ils sont retournés sur leur terrain,on aurait dit un site de destruction massive, seules deux structures tenaient (2 yourtes nécessitant des rénovations qu'ils utilisaient pour la communauté et leurs amis) . Sans ses structures ils ne pourraient même pas espérer rester sur place et faire revivre leur projet. Leur maison, ses dépendances (salle de bain et cuisine) et la yourte qu'ils louaient étaient toutes réduites en cendres. Les tuyaux d'eau avaient fondus et le système d'arrivée d'eau détruit, les panneaux solaires avaient explosés et leur station électrique étaient partis. Leur abri à bois avait brûlé ainsi que tout leurs outils (débroussailleuses, tronçonneuse, générateur, tout les outils électriques, équipement de jardin...) Leur paradis vert s'était transformé en cauchemar apocalyptique.
No one here will ever forget the night that half of Portugal burnt! This was a 5 year dream of ecological hospitality which was destroyed by the flames that swept across their beautiful valley despite the efforts to save lives and property. The devastation and loss are unbelievable as are the generosity and solidarity in the community. But to rebuild their ecological off the grid project, this family of now 2 boys since Nuno was born in the process of their project setting up, desperately needs assistance.
If the target is met, half of your donations will be used to reinstall the infrastructure needed to start working again as soon as next spring. The other half will enable them to start building their new home.
Personne ici n'oubliera la nuit où la moitié du Portugal a brûlé! Un rêve de 5 ans d'hospitalité écologique fut détruit par les flammes qui coururent sur toute la région malgrés les efforts de tous de sauver habitats et vies. Les pertes sont inimaginables, ainsi que la solidarité dans la communauté. Cependant pour reconstruire ce projet écologique, cette famille a besoin d'aide.
Please donate as much or as little as you can and share with you contacts. Any donation will be a wonderful gift. Together we can help this family leave this disaster behind and look towards new beginnings.
Merci de contribuer de la façon dont vous pouvez et de partager avec vos contacts. Chaque donation sera una cadeau incroyable. Ensemble nous pouvons aider cette famille à laisser derrière eux cette catastrophe naturelle pour regarder vers un nouveau départ.
Thanking you in advance for your generosity,
