Calais Day 3

Day 3 was pretty similar to day 2, except we were less excited when we saw the bus. In the morning we were in the warehouse again, this time sorting through women's clothes ready for distribution and making sure tents had all their parts (I never want to see a tent for at least a couple of months). I was surprised at how much of the women's clothes we were discarding, but we were told that most for women and children were in a different camp so women's clothes wouldn't go with our distributions. Instead a lot of the women's clothes are passed on to other charity's here in Calais.  After another great lunch we went into the camp again doing the same jobs. Distribution in the container was such an eye opener, with these refugees desperate for simple things like jumpers and toilet roll, but politely queueing for hours at a time, with only a minority pushing in and most of them joking around and going to the back of the queue when asked. Most of the people hanging around not in the queue were purely looking for entertainment and enjoyed having conversations with us. In the evening we stayed in the camp and enjoyed a meal at one of the restaurants where people are trying to make some money, seeing as they aren't allowed to work in the town. After a brilliant dinner (with lots of amazing Chai tea) our day ended with a walk home along the beach, watching the beautiful sunset yet again.
