Dear Marjorie
Thank you for your email to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,
which has been passed to me to reply.
Your continued determination to support Boshra and her
family is testament to London's proud history of supporting refugees. I am
sorry you are finding it difficult to source the funding to enable you to
continue to support Boshra and her family in the Eleonas Camp. Unfortunately,
we are not able to offer any funding to support your work in the camps.
You clearly have lots of ideas about how to help those
currently living in the camps. Those with responsibility for the camps would be
best placed to consider whether they could be taken forward.
In the meantime, we are working with the Government to look
at the role London could play in supporting the resettlement of refugees.
Kind regards
Shanthi Gunesekera
Senior Policy Officer
Readers of my blog and I know I have many frequent returning readers on this story. Please can you see I am trying so so much to get funding for my project. Emails, letters phone calls to all from MP MEP Mayor EU parliament.
It is heartwarming to see the care, compassion and my commitment to this family and project recognised. My love and concern is indeed vast to rebuild lives that are on hold in the present climate in many host countries. There is no doubt many countries are trying so hard to cope with all the demands... For this I have witnessed all the socio-economic problems.. it is with care and compassion for the host countries that I am trying to get it seen that through this link up project we can help to link up traders, business, universities and other teams to turn the situation around to help one another. We have some great ideas, skills and expertise among the refugees too that can enhance communities.
But you can see how I am now totally reliant on kind souls coming forward with donations or sponsorship to help me get back to Eleonas Camp to help with Boshra and her new baby due in March.
My personal funds exhausted but where never great due to personal circumstances of loss and trauma in my life. One of the reasons why I feel we all to mind link and soul link and most of all heart link.... as we all have had life journeys that have challenged us to the core with loss and abuse and trauma.
Please I still have the gofundme link - if you are using this and experiencing problems let me know... .
If you have fundraising ideas or wish to make a donation in another way then let me know familylinkuptogetherATgmail.com I evidence all I do and report to the UNHCR in London.
