A little update following our monthly trip down to Ventimiglia on Saturday 29th June - the day before the first round of voting in France!!! Numbers seem to be pretty stable at the moment - with a few new arrivals from Sudan and Eritrea, most of whom had very sore feet due to walking long distances in ill-fitting shoes. Laurence, our lovely nurse, tended to them as best she could and Catherine, a physio, gave them foot massages with anti inflammatory oils which they absolutely LOVED! We had been given a huge box of white and fluorescent pink socks, pink baseball caps and handheld fans (thank you!)- and contrary to our expectations, most of the young refugees were absolutely delighted with them;-) quite a sight watching them head off in bright pink and white socks with their slides and flip flops on, proudly wearing pink baseball caps and carrying a fan!!!!! The police presence was huge - although it would appear that many of them were watching the football as Italy was playing……….The Europe that they have arrived in becomes more hostile by the day but they have the optimism of youth and a huge desire to work and improve their lives. Fingers crossed for them all. And thank you for your continued support in these unsettling times.
