Earthquake in Turkey

Dante had left a message to say there had been an earthquake in Sanilurfa Turkey it had been a scare but they were OK...

Was good to hear voices over the phone to know they were well.....

Gee as if these folk have been through enough...... but good to have teams already in the area to help.

Dante is like a social worker among his community there.  We have social and welfare job applications in for him and have highlighted this on his CV how much he does now..... so hopefully he will get shortlisted. I can never show you Dante till his parents are safe over the border.  They are still in Syria and there is always a worry for their safety.  Dreadful situation there is so much stress and anxiety among the refugees.. All compounded on all they have been through.  One of the projects in the town offers Psycho-social healing and therapies..... I hope to get out there one day to assess and give some support.  I have been applying for paid posts to get there to help.   But as it is at the moment I have to be careful travelling to the border towns..
