THE MIGRANT CRISIS

I don’t know about you, but I just cannot imagine what it is like to leave everything, absolutely everything, get into

a flimsy dinghy and sail through the night on Homer’s ‘wine dark sea’; or tramp for days and days carrying a tod-

dler. I love living here in Buckden where I feel supported and cared for. I would be heartbroken if I were forced to

leave this village, family and friends.

Can we, as a very caring village community see our way to support a family who have, indeed, left everything and

risked everything to find a life free from fear? It is just an idea but one that I hope will be supported by you all – if

each household in Buckden gave 50p a week (more or less as we each can afford) we could rent a house for a

family from Syria and have enough left over to help them settle down, find work and bring up their children in

peace. As I see it, there would be a giving and receiving on both sides engendering a sense of sharing, responsi-

bility and belonging. As one family settles and hopefully moves on then another could be helped.

I do not have the skills or experience to drive this idea forward but I wonder if anyone reading this does? It would

need careful planning and careful managing which will take quite a lot of time. It would also need the wholeheart-

ed and committed support of all of us. Please contact me (around 5 p.m. is a good time to catch me) if you feel

you can help.
