Homeless local volunteers to aid refugees

Mary Atkinson reports from Debrecen, Hungary:

This is George.

He is homeless, and usually sleeps in the park over the road from the town's station.

Since the crisis hit, he's been helping out every day, carrying donations and welcoming migrants down from the trains that come in from the Serbian border.

"I never sleep more than two or three hours a night anyway," he told MEE, explaining how he manages to be so energetic when on late shifts.
