Esperaza's refugees arrive

 Susie has interviewed our refugees in the market - those who don't have facebook  can read it here :)


So these refugees, they had come by boat from Egypt (14 days) or Libya (2 days) to Italy, and from there to France . They stayed two weeks at the Jungle camp at Calais which was so rough with no water and every night walked miles in the dark with no torchlight to try to get through the channel tunnel, but there were many police and they never succeeded. They speak Arabic and English and no French and England is their dream destination. Anyway the French government offered help and sent them on a bus all the way to small town obscure Esperaza and they are going to have their asylum applications looked at here. They have been put in social housing and given 4 euros a day for food.—
