This was my first time at an art auction and in Christie's I am very impressed with all they do and all the other events they host. The staff were kind with me and interested in my personal befriending project Family Link Up The auction I was sharing with Boshra in Belgium and her brother in Turkey. Boshra was pleased and grateful that people are still remembering refugees and are wishing to help. But we were all shocked at the conditions and demands on Lesvos with still more attempting the crossing. It fills my heart and mind with major concern and I am so grateful the family I befriend are safe! When I think back to all they have been through it makes me shudder. But even when safe the journey to healing continues and rebuilding lives. We need more befrienders like my Family Link Up and more volunteers to amazing projects like we heard about this evening the Hope Project. Thank goodness there is kindness in the world to buffer the man made pain of war and conflict.
