- Joachim Thome is pushing Unai from Bilbao to take all his courage and approach a store. This is the most important step to really get going. You can do it, Unai!
- Update: Unai did it! Congratulations!
Contacts to stores and local collaborators are being made, flyers are being prepared and the next online meetin is already in planning. - Claudie from Rotterdam contacted us again, to collaborate further. Just last week they made huge progress, when a big supermarket agreed to daily pick-ups, a food bank got ready for weekly pick-ups and they even decided to make a whole room available for foodsharing purposes in the Antonius building, yeah!
- Claudie and Taras from Stockholm both posted in the foodsaving worldwide group on facebook, making it livlier and more interesting to other foodsaving and -sharing enthusiasts.
- Kristijan Miklobusec's article about the foodsharing brunch in Mainz, which is successfully held every week since two years already, points out the importance of community building, as well as providing the concrete example of how to achieve this.

In Progress
- Weekly meetings concerning specific topics are being implemented (e.g. construction, culture & events, why we share)

- Electricity: How can we get it through sharing, even when Reik moves out of his flat? So far we only were shown solutions, which require exchange.
- How to handle conflicts between individuals?
- How to handle alcohol?
- More yuniteers who are willing to stay for a while are needed! Especially those who are interested in getting involved with the local community, putting in place the mentioned meetings/foodsaving structures, finding creative solutions of money-free-only sharing approaches and being an inspiring rock for the people of this town, that has not a lot of social infrastructure, let alone alternative variants of it.
