Thank you Francis for your kind and excellently put words. The people in Calais and the refugee's in general are often reasonably well off people who are escaping war, dictatorship, murder and rape. They are escaping the horrible situations that they face at home and a tin of pulses and a pair of old trainers does not influence their decision. In fact it is shocking to me that this is all we can provide for them. I don't understand how some people not only do nothing but attack others that are trying to do something small to help. Its a very sad state of affairs. On the positive side, many people have been very very generous. The parcels I have from the school include little hand written notes of hope from the children and another set of boxes have the contents translated into Arabic. This warms my heart. |
