Volunteers bring ray of light to Spanish towns shattered by floods
Some came armed with mops and buckets, pick-axes or shovels, others carried bottles of drinking water and bags of food. Thousands of volunteers of all ages, walks of life and different nationalities showed up on Friday in Spain's eastern Valencia region to help with clean-up efforts after catastrophic floods that have killed at least 205 people. "To Paiporta, to help," answered a group of young men, walking briskly, when asked where they were headed, referring to one of the hardest-hit suburbs of the regional capital, Spain's third-biggest city.
