(Dagbladet): Eirik Lundblad (33) and Marianne Sleire (34) make an extra effort for others this christmas season. When travelling to the west coast before christmas, provides the namely the some other the opportunity to celebrate christmas in their house.
“… If you are in a demanding financial situation or on the other view does not have a place where you can gather your loved ones for a merry christmas, I invite you to take contact, the idea is to lend out the house to someone who really needs it and can enjoy it from 22./23 – 2. christmas day. We guarantee the christmas tree, the pleasant surroundings and (hopefully) snow:)” writes Eirik Lundblad in your ad.
They also promise to fill up the fridge before they go.
“We will also ensure a well-equipped fridge with various christmas food etc. before we leave the house”.
- No reason why the house should stand empty
Eirik Lundblad has both worked in the Doctors without borders and the Red cross, and Marianne Sleire is a documentary filmmaker and has among other things made the movie from the slums of Bucharest in Romania. They both have an attraction towards anything to do.
Marianne and I have a clear idea of not just going to let it be with the thought, ” Eirik says.
We bought the house in the summer. And so we thought that there is no reason for the house to stand empty when we go to the west coast.
In a few hours has your ad been viewed 50 000 times and shared 5,000 times on Facebook.
The two are overwhelmed by the response.
- This is obviously something that hits a different nerve, for now running it in both the inquiries from those who would lend, but even more is the nice comments that this is a great thing to do. We had not in our wildest dreams thought it was going to be like that.
- Who came on to fill the fridge also?
- This is not for someone who is staying at St. Hanshaugen and fancy a bit more space in the christmas season, but for those who may not have the same opportunities. What makes the christmas season is to collect them you will have around him and what belongs to the of food, therefore, we would like a total package.
- You have the experience to help people in several parts of the world. Some ground rules or advice?
Based on the responses that are here, there is no doubt that many have the desire to do something. It hits something in people when you see something concrete. Something even easier that I know several have done, is to celebrate christmas at home but invite a few extra, who gets to be with on christmas eve. Or bring some to the cabin. And if it is too high a threshold, it takes the Workhouse against, and disclosing gifts. The red Cross, the Church city mission and Maritastiftelsen you can also contact if you want to do something.
Two julaftener abroad
Eirik has spent the last two julaftenene outside of the Uk. A year in the Philippines during the typhoon and a time during ebolautbruddet in Sierra Leone.
I have known on the body how different it is to be a guest in a foreign culture, but also encountered cultures that are annereldes than our. For which one can guarantee that one will be asked home to someone who arranges and fixes and is a wonderful host. Where we are perhaps in a greater degree only have a base for ourselves.
It is the little specific things that can make a big difference for some, he believes.
- Conclusion is: Do something! Only there is a barrier for many.
- Is it difficult to choose who should live where?
-We had not thought that even for that there would be such a response. When things take off on Facebook, take it so violently. What we see very clearly is that the need is very large. Just how do we pick out the we have not taken a position yet. But think it is a well as clear encouragement to others to open their doors.
