At February’s OPEN DOOR SERVICE, we welcomed volunteers Margaret and Trish from BROMSGROVE AND REDDITCH WELCOME REFUGEES (BRWR). We recalled the heart-breaking film shown in church by Naeem Arif during which a small Syrian boy, set in a desert of dust and broken buildings sobbed, ‘what have we done to deserve this?’ The ongoing project, which helps a small number of Syrian refugees to build new lives in new communities, continues slowly and surely, benefitting from the skills, talents and compassion of volunteers such Margaret and Trish.
