1. How did the idea of traveling to Valencia come up?
It was an initiative of two colleagues from Goimendi. The idea came up in November, during the medical exams. They got a bus and the material to help with the cleaning work and 60 students joined us.
2. The moment that marked you the most in Paiporta?
In addition to the hospitality and the constant expressions of gratitude from the neighbors, who kept thanking us and offering us tangerines, nougat and chocolates, there are two moments that stand out: a man asked us financial aid to clean a parking lot. When we went down, I was shocked by the amount of mud. We could barely get through. We carried a CO2 marker, because every 15 minutes it was advisable to come up for air.
When we left, the neighbor told us that his brother tried to get his car out of the garage the night of the DANA and died trapped in the parking lot. I was impressed that he had been cleaning up the place where his brother lost his life for a month. I don't know if I would have been able to be in his shoes status.
I also remember that we helped a couple empty their storage room. We managed to open it after an hour and, when we did, all the mud came out. We formed a human chain to remove the salvageable items. Instead of lamenting the loss of their wedding album, Christmas tree and other personal mementos, they focused on thanking us at partnership.
