Brilliant evening with my Syrian friends Tuesday evening 11th June .... Jusoor is Arabic for bridges .. they have developed an organisation that builds bridges to rebuild lives love the slogan
"ensuring no talent goes unnoticed and no dream unfulfilled..."
wonderful that those that have succeeded are reaching to help others succeed too...
"Lady Marjorie" gets everywhere and always a voice for others ..In Question and comment time ... I shared my experience of visiting Eleonas Camp Athens and Piraeus camp being introduced to Syrian refugees that were Vets, doctors, teachers, administrators, IT technicians. As I worked alone with my Family Link Up project I would write reports to the UNHCR legal team London and copy to John McDonnell my MP .. I suggested we make a database of peoples CVs, skills and expertise to show host countries what talent was among the refugees to help their economy and rebuild lives. All that was needed was language skills of host countries.
Well in the Jusoor meeting was so in awe that the founder of Talent Beyond Boundaries مواهب بلا حدود had set up an project to do just that.. Talent beyond Boundaries this is amazing. Technology today means also they can work for companies & organisations remotely ... Jusoor is indeed building bridges and the networking in this meeting was so powerful.
I have sent details to Baroness Lister House of Lords that chaired our combined meeting APPG Poverty & APPG Migration ... I hope Jusoor - جسور can be invited to present their work in parliament. Baroness has replied and notes not only new government to be formed after General Election but there will be a summer recess ..so parliament will open in Autumn and schedules made ..🤲🙏inshallah lets hope all inspirational voices heard with awesome power.. When we get John back as our strong experienced MP for Hayes & Harlington, maybe John could invite Jusoor to his popular well attended parliamentary open to all seminars. A parliamentary conference would also be awesome too.. there is such good floor space in the Palace of Westminster for exhibition stands ..we always must remember parliament is a people's parliament and a major hub to share ideas & projects that can be recognised by governments & help fashion policies to enhance lives ..
The Syrian food for the evening supper was so good too ..you can order through
