This week is Refugee Week.
I was online looking for something I’d written in The Times and instead of finding it, I came across a piece I’d written some time ago for national Quakers about my concern for refugees. I thought you might like to read it.

And here are a few photos from our Refugee Hospitality Days over the years …I can’t show you our guests for privacy reasons. And that’s such a shame, because it’s the people and the enjoyment and the beaming smiles that are the point of it all.
Two text messages from the early days when we invited survivors of human trafficking.
And the lovely little posies for the tables again!
ReplyDeleteAll those photos of loving kindness in action. Can only marvel at the sheer effort it took every time, over the years - but all your guests will remember their days with you forever.

Thank you, Thea. That’s a real comfort. The link person who accompanies them on their visits has said that the memories are important as well as the experience. xx
