What role did Jasmin O’Hara’s website play in their Jungle visits?

Question

Accepted Answer

Jasmin O’Hara’s website helped Edith plan her first visit and connect her with aid groups in the Jungle.

Edith said her first visit was planned using Jasmin O’Hara’s website, “The Worldwide Tribe.” The site listed several organisations that needed help in different areas of the Jungle, including teaching, building and cooking. Through it, Edith got in touch with L’Auberge des Migrants, which had been helping communities in the camp for two years.
It served as a practical planning tool for the first trip

Edith used the website to work out how to approach her first visit to Calais. She described the camp as overwhelming and said it was sometimes hard to know how to help when actually there. The website gave her a starting point by showing which groups were active and what kinds of help were needed.
It connected her to organisations already working in the camp

The Worldwide Tribe did more than provide general information. It included links to organisations involved in specific tasks, such as teaching, building and cooking, which made it easier to identify where support was needed. One of those links led Edith to L’Auberge des Migrants.
It led to direct contact with L’Auberge des Migrants

After finding L’Auberge des Migrants through the site, Edith made contact with the group directly. That organisation was described as providing support to communities in the Jungle for the past two years. Matthew and Edith later used that connection as part of their wider efforts to collect rice, lentils and financial donations from their school community.
