Ahmed Sparkles for us all

Still needing help to get resources for the family in Turkey. They are struggling through with the need for winter fuel and clothes... This little cutie Ahmed would like to get some clothes & more fun toys and educational material to help him.  Would like to get a team of fundraisers together to help me with Family Link Up and rebuild lives.

Love Sparkle

Princess Leen in Love Sparkle as it is nearly her 3rd birthday... the excitement building... Bless her she was born in Sulieman Shah camp in Turkey, then they fled to Greece was in Eleonas Camp.... and thanks to the kindness of Belgium and the UNHCR have the dignity of a home now. So Boshra is keen to give her a good birthday party.  I am unable to get to see her for her birthday as no funds.  I managed to get a few things in the sales yesterday in Uxbridge and have sent a small parcel this morning in the post.  Princess Leen is into the Unicorn magic just like my youngest grand-daughter Errin.... so I found a Unicorn ponies song book with music ... lol Boshra will be loving me.. the music plays over and over again with little fingers pressing buttons.... But last night did a couple of powerpoint slides with voice over for a song and English building. We all laugh last night with the facebook sharing... and was amazing at one point we had skype connections with Turkey and another sister in Germany simultaneously... I love this project and learn and share so much. 
I keep thinking and have emailed some companies that the girls could be models for a good children's clothes company.  This would give a spotlight on the needs of refugee children and families to rebuild their lives... So any company reading this get in touch with me.  I am going to keep trying for them all to get chances and opportunities.

Love love love

Turtle Doves full of Love
Took a photo of a lovely card today in the British Library shop as I was waiting for my daughter after some meetings she had there.  Very significant as I have a glint in my eye as a midwife - not surprised the news today from Boshra... No she is not expecting ...but her sister is that was granted permission to join her husband in Germany after 3 years apart. If you remember from the following the story she travelled from Turkey in October... I am feeling a global community midwife now... and look forward to the new arrival.  I hope I can go and visit... in the meantime I am contacting Sabine a friend in Germany to see if she can travel to see Asma.... Boshra was thinking she can send some of the baby clothes that the girls have grown out of now..... 
I had to walk through St Pancreas station today on the way to the British Library from the Kings Cross Underground ... I am only a few hours away from Brussels by the Eurostar. I am so frustrated as would like to visit Boshra and the girls to check on the situation and all the resources she can tap into.  My daughter is happy to help towards the fare and there is half price tickets on offer ..but you can choose the date to travel.  Would be good to have a say Wednesday to Sunday over Celine's first birthday.... and of course would need some spending money to get what they all need. Boshra is also planning for Princess Leen's 3yrs old birthday later this month.  Apparently just as my youngest grand daughter she is getting hooked on the Unicorn that is all the fashion at the moment.  Boshra has seen some party wear with the Unicorn on. Can you see the family just want to be a family living as families do.  Was fun today as my daughter messaged Dante when we were having a pizza together in London and sent a photo.  They are connected and it feels good we are truly linking up as a Global family should. I just need some good funding and regular funds to build this project to the maximum and achieve the goal of rebuilding lives.

Small package arrives

Bargain baby vests for Celine arrived with the some chocolate and a card for Leen to put in her bedroom. Good to have the link up even with small packages in the post. The cost of post is more manageable.... and keeps the flow of surprises & much needed things coming..... to feel the constant love and care..... 
Boshra was chatting to me last night and she was feeling she would like to send some gift to baby Ahmed in Turkey... He is her nephew and as auntie it is only natural to want to send gifts.   I was thinking dear readers and supporters if you can help with fundraising I could visit Boshra and the girls in the spring for Celine's first birthday and then travel to Turkey to take a gift and check on the family there...... or if not enough funds when with Boshra in Belgium we could package something to send by post.....
So frustrated without substantial funding and regular donations.... as there is so much I could do...... 

I am tapping into free courses online and presently on a three week course with the European University Institue on the FutureLearn platform.  This is looking generally at why do people migrate and has good modules on the Syrian refugee crisis.... I am learning but realising I have a lot to offer too.. as with Family Link Up project I have learnt and experienced a lot through the journey of befriending.  As a retired professional it my norm to research and learn and observe and make out action plans to help elevate problems and pain.   So you will see that while I blend in family love and care for my Family Link Up I do look at the wider issues too. I wish I could get funding for all I do.. as there is so much more I can do and develop with the help of my refugee families too! They are themselves a resource to tap into .. with many skills and much expertise. 
Any gifts you want to pass on to my Family Link Up project contact me!

Kids having fun in Turkey and Belgium

Ahmed looking the Disco man in Turkey with Dantes headphones.. makes me proud that the funding got Dante the laptop and headphones a couple of years ago and still going strong.  The lap top is helping Dante with his studying, journalism and creative writing. I see that Celine is now wearing the clothes that Leen used to fit into... and it will please Amira's mother, from Wembly, that gave all her clothes to me to take out to Eleonas camp.. she will see that the clothes are still going strong and now being used by Celine.   Good to see the children happy today....  
If you have any ideas on fundraising let me know, and if you got too many Christmas presents you do not want and would like me to send out to my family link then contact me... and still needing funds for fuel in Turkey.
