Since that day, many people from the market have gone and supported the cause. In the initial days, a van packed with food was sent to France every week. This was later stopped due to the increased expenses.<br \/>\nThey strive to make a difference in the lives of the refugees. Their activities have encouraged local public to be a part of the cause.\u201cSome people after seeing us take a vehicle and go which is very nice. The need is just the same and is vital,\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>she says.<br \/>\nThe French government tried to close down the community kitchen but was overturned by the judges who acknowledged it as a humanitarian cause. But the authorities have succeeded in making their lives miserable.<br \/>\nThe CRS policemen used tear gas and pepper sprays against them. Their tents were destroyed and bedding were stolen, leaving them helpless. Organizations such as Red Cross and Oxfam have not been involved in the issue as the camps are not supported by the governments.<br \/>\nChristine along with many others continue to work towards the betterment of the refugees in Calais in-spite of unfavorable circumstances. They believe that the money spent\u00a0on fences and CRS should be diverted to people and for humanitarian causes.<br \/>\n\u201cCompassion is the only way.
