That is another parcel on the way to Boshra - the art materials and the Bee Book and Arabic Flash cards too... I am also grateful to another donation on the gofundme.... If I can get say a £1000 in the next week I could go to Belgium for a week and have some good shopping time to stock up with Boshra... it would include more art materials and more educational material for the girls... and the other thing to aim for is my keenest to have some "pseudo-Grandma" time baking with the girls.... we can get some baking tins, ingredients and decorations to have some fun together... Also what would be good is get some yarn to teach Boshra to crochet and knit & help her to read English patterns.... we could have a good constructive time together. In this visit I can assess all the resources around and travel to Brussels to meet with refugee groups there too....
I have also finished the blanket for Dante and the family in Turkey. So will need to get this packed off to them - though yes I know it is an heatwave at the moment... but it is to get it over for the other extreme weather to come of the pending winter time. Remember they struggle to get wood for the wood burner and can spend some cold nights together.... Again would be good to get some yarns for the women in Turkey. They also will needs funds for the winter to come too and shopping for clothes and food. In September I shall reapply for the Woman Journalist UN grant that we narrowly missed in spring of this year - we have a good journalist in the Turkish group and she is helping to empower the women on writing articles from socio-political to women's issues and family raising issues to health & well being and educational articles... She will eventually be able to earn from this... that is the aim...trying to get lives rebuilt and able to be self sufficient... Everyone is keen to rebuild not only for their future but also out of thanks to the host countries by contributing to their economies. No one wants to be a long term burden they want financial dignity and freedom like us all.... I am inspired by my Family Link Up - even as I type this Dante is working with his group putting together articles for their online news. I enjoy translating some of the work and adapting to English.... so much we do on so little funds but imagine what could be achieved with good funding....
