I remember the womenfolk in the camps and how they are amazing no matter the circumstances they try to hold their families together. Make whatever living space they have home. Always busying cooking cleaning washing clothes caring for the children. I salute them with this post too.
I pay tribute to all the Syrian refugee women I have met and the family I link up. In the night was busy submitting a grant application for one of the refugee women who is developing in journalism.... She has amazing plans for a future project - more on this when we are further down the road with the grant application... but the project will be an amazing and wonderful one for women's lives to be shared and rebuilt. I too in my rebuild have regained my self esteem and learning a lot with Family Link Up... my refugees keep me strong as I keep them strong. We are all traumatised souls that are rebuilding our lives having lost all... but stop and think not lost all we have ourselves and our internal resilience we have strength in our hopes and dreams to be reclaimed for a future built in the richness of sharing together.
The children inspire as they grow up and adapt to changing circumstances. Dear Princess Leen born in Turkey, lived in the camps in Athens now in Belgium a 3 yrs old now speaking 3 languages and about to learn her fourth.... I am sure will one day have a top job in the UN at this rate.... And Princess Celine born in Athens and now in Belgium with her sister and amazingly talented mother Boshra... So determined a little big lady is Celine that she walked at 9mths.... you can learn more on the Family Link Up Blog - you will see I am a direct hand to hand link up for the families scattered between Turkey and parts of Europe.. All help goes direct to needs and to the family. I am needing donations, fundraisers, supporters, grants and sponsors to to help me with the multiple projects to help rebuild lives again... and regain hope and dignity for all.
