Memories of sharing

 Today been remembering all the joy of sharing clothes in the Eleonas Camp Athens in 2016.  Today was looking out at my front door as the sun was shining and giving an hint of spring coming.  I was looking at the bar along the path and remembering the wonderful energy and activity of washing, ironing and airing donated clothes to take to the camp. Then saw on facebook that the Salvation army in Athens having mothers clothes swap days...Clothes Swap  So been gathering some of the photos of the time Boshra and Princess Leen helped to distribute the clothes to the mothers in the camp.  My little princess Leen is so altruistic as indeed all my family link up are.  They always ensure that the refugee community around them are catered for too.  There is great joy and coming together in sharing some good fortune that came their way.  I loved this day with the womenfolk and the babies sharing time together and the appreciation and love that they felt from the Mother that donated these clothes. Sharing practical things but most of all sharing love - Mother Power....  
I always love the cute look of Leen in this pink dress and sun hat...(see below) ....that day in Athens was so much fun with her looking so pretty and cute. This dress is now being worn by her sister Celine as she fits it now.  This is the fun thing about the refugee family the donation of clothes be they second hand or new always get good wear out and are passed down to other brothers and sisters and to other members of the community.  I am so ready to see Boshra and the girls now they are settling in Belgium... we have just been facebook chatting and she is asking she hopes I can come for Celine's first birthday... she is would like a joint party a catch up one of Leen's 3rd birthday in January that I could not get too... and for Celine.... and just to celebrate being together again.  I am so desperate to have some time out of the UK and go and see what facilities are available for them in Belgium and how I can help the locals help all the refugees.  It will make a good report for you all my readers.
