Left out in the dark, epilogue
In the local section of yesterday's newspaper, there was quite a long article about 'Bus 25'. Bus 25 is a converted bus that tours La Rochelle and it's suburbs every single night of the year and several afternoons a week. It's manned by nurses and social workers who check up on the homeless, give them medical aid , hot food and blankets and generally help in any way that they can. I found out that the homeless are allowed twenty nights a year in the shelter, many refuse even that because their dogs are not allowed in. While we are safe and warm in our beds there's a lot going on out there.
