With the imminent closure of the migrant welcome centres in Bruniquel and Verfeil France 3 TV news has a feature on the village of Bruniquel and how well its inhabitants have welcomed and integrated the 25 or so Sudanese refugees housed there. 11 of the asylum seekers have "got their papers" and are very grateful for the help and affection they have received and advise the rest of their group to be patient. They will be joining the 18 Afghans and Africans housed in Verfeil in a new centre near Parisot later this month.
The link (in French) is a pleasing read for all of us who have been involved.
