Sanctuary Foundation: Latest News
Dear friends
Great Big Live Assembly
Do you have connections in your local school? We would love as many schools as possible to join our unique Great Big Live Assembly for World Refugee Day.
This assembly will celebrate the brilliant ways children from Ukraine and other countries have been welcomed into schools in the UK. We also want to help children understand what life is like for millions of refugee children around the world.
Sanctuary Foundation is convening the Great Big Live Assembly on World Refugee Day, Tuesday 20th of June, at 9.05am. For the first time, thanks to simple-to-use technology, we are able to gather our schools together via a live online broadcast that is inspirational, informative and interactive. It would be great if you could let schools you are in touch with know about this special event. They can sign up for free here <https://7w9so.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com/mk/cl/f/VuEVBBlFyRFgw9Gs7CjxXbylc75UJUKhtjb_Ilj-KtfYyw1JyZxf3IoLhPEUNXGHe53gwU6vN5Y_h1gYStqtyvi-q0v0rZWmdVDAnXbCuUyoD-sO0RRPYv9ddOS-URo_grbGYXQ20JtgCTHZQdFq5CeRYmC0q7FEoqNupZyLl__cudivwNOa7WGO6lI86WgfShxR1MsL7vvjCYqqsOc6ZCvPGMrgTEFiBd0jkLjtyxAjHrKK1OV9h1r_2-GHLjBvBWs81San1qoOH5RCJVtbbMFnkLa6ypTyA7gxxeYjUtCbz_ARFcG2ubZYTg> .
Easter Gift Boxes
We have received some lovely feedback from those who received an Easter gift via your community group/ church, such as this message from Victoria:
“I sincerely thank you and your team for the wonderful gifts and congratulations, good mood and wishes, constant support and assistance. It is always very nice, but when you are in another country, a hostage of circumstances, it is especially valuable and important!”
Trip to Albania
At the beginning of April, I visited Tirana, Albania on a fact finding mission. I was sponsored to go by the UK government to speak firsthand with young people, faith leaders & politicians and learn why so many young people are making the dangerous small boat crossings to the UK. Please watch the video to learn more about opportunities for Albanians in the UK and Albania.
