Day 6- Beef Goulash

Today has been another phenomenal day. We started the day by visiting the biggest refugee camp is Hingary. It used to be an old military base and this was very evident from the old bushings. It was a daunting place to visit as we were surrounded on all sides by barbed wire and metal gates. Although the biggest camp it was strangely quiet, one 340 refugees were on site. All of te refugees we met were so lovely but I couldn't help be disappointed by the conditions they had to live in at the camp. The buildings are very run down, the toilets basic and the kitchens dirty. The children, who all seemed very young had very little to do or play with. It felt to me that the point of te refugees having come from a worse place justified the huge lack of funds the refugee camp had. It is a shame because I believe those little children deserve far more support from the government. It would take much to paint the walls and give a few more toys. The experience was amazing and I am looking forward to going back.

Last night we went folk dancing. We all enjoyed it very much and I haven't laughed so hard for a long time!!

Tonight we are going resource shipping ready for our activities day at the camp next week.

We had the best beef goulash today... So yummy!
