Zahir Dharamshi talks arriving at a resettlement camp in Greenwich

“We landed at Stansted Airport and it was a horrible, horrible day. It was dark. It was dismal. It was wet. And we are carrying these huge overcoats, which we never really needed in Uganda. And we are all herded onto buses and taken to a camp in Greenwich where we had to queue up for our bedding. It was an army camp so there were billets there. So it was like what you see in the films where we queued up for our bedding and stuff. Later on, then we had to queue up for food with our trays and stuff. It wasn't a horrible time in a sense it was a fun time it was going to be a different kind of adventure.”
