Update from Family Link Up just got lovely photos in from Boshra in Belgium to show Leen studying... she is learning English and Dutch from the dual language books I have sent lol .. Professor of Linguistics when older one feels bless her.
I have been busy making more warm Arran waistcoats in all sizes for the kids in both Belgium and Turkey. I know we are getting closer to spring and summer but they will be useful when cold weather returns or just for some body warmth over lighter clothes on a cool day.
Dante has been busy in Turkey helping his cousin who had to have a kidney operation yesterday. I have over the last few days been doing my ward rounds in the Turkish hospital on skype.
Have to say well impressed with the hospital set near mountains with a healing view in itself. The hospital care good, with much thanks to the doctors and nurses for caring for her for me too! I wish I could have gone to help but thank goodness for skype to help me go from my lap top at home in Hayes. Monday evening it did her good for me to visit on skype as she was feeling anxious pre op.. and yesterday I was able to check in post op, she looked comfortable. I have a screen capture to evidence my call over skype but I have preserved the dignity of Gade at her request. The slide I have surrounded with healing colours for her well being recovery. The Turkish health care system has been based on our NHS system so is impressive.

Some parcels arrive in Belgium and another on its way to Turkey.
I am planning to visit the family members in Belgium for my birthday to link up Leens school with the local one here. Leen is doing well with her Dutch learning and so is Boshra... All are trying hard to keep all the languages rich and bountiful for any future work opportunities. Boshra is keen to develop her art skills and has a huge pull towards glass painting and artwork.
We need funds for fuel for winter in Turkey and food. We need funds for educational materials for both the children in Belgium and in Turkey. We need more art materials for Boshra in Belgium. She still needs beds for the girls in the apartment too. Funds to purchase from local traders in the host countries is so important - to respect their livelihoods. But I also need funds to send parcels to them all.
Can we do this together dear helpers? let me know of ideas such as coffee mornings and sponsored runs or cycles... anything that can help this project - thank you!
