Home for some orange pickers of Rosarno

In a small wood on the outskirts of Rosarno, a dozen muslim and arabic speaking men, most of them recognised refugees from Sudan, built a makeshift camp for the harvest season. There is not electricity or running water in this camp. Nonetheless, they prefer this place, because it is closer to town, and in contrast to the crowded tent city, it forms a smaller community.
