Every night, the same ritual plays out at the door to this unassuming basement: a dramatic dash for the entrance, a ruckus sometimes occasioning violent altercations. The staff has the difficult task of 'triage' among the poor: women and children first, then the men. While the shelter's maximum capacity is a 100, only 50 of the 'elect' will be allowed inside and have the right to a hot meal and a bed. The others know that it's going to be a long night. ...The Shelter ( L'abri )
