A team of people make a small shelter for homeless people. Homeless people do not have a home. They sometimes sleep in the street. But it is too cold in winter.

The team must test the shelter first. They test it in the German city of Ulm. The shelter will protect people from cold and wind. Light is inside. One person can be inside. It is a safe place.

The shelter has a door. The door unlocks in the evening. A homeless person can go inside. Social workers get a message that somebody is inside. Social workers check the shelter in the morning. They clean it. Somebody else can use it the next night.

Difficult words: shelter (a small safe place), protect (to keep somebody safe), unlock (to open something, usually with a key).
