Refugees Welcome Haringey #4familiesbyXmas campaign launch

Refugees Welcome Haringey is inviting Haringey residents to join them in celebrating Refugee Week at the launch of their Four Families by Christmas campaign at Lordship Rec on Sunday 26 June 2-5pm. At the event, there will be talks, music, and poetry readings, and a collection for a refugee charity. All are welcome.

Refugees Welcome Haringey is joining a multitude of other organisations and individuals across the UK to celebrate the huge contribution refugees make to society during Refugee Week, which takes place between 20-26 June this year. Up and down the country hundreds of arts, cultural and educational events will be taking place to encourage better understanding between communities.

The Four Families by Christmas campaign urges Haringey Council to resettle four Syrian families via the Government Vulnerable Person Resettlement scheme by Christmas 2016.

Event contributors:

Christos Papaioannou will be reflecting on the work of Medecins sans Frontieres in Greece

Elfadil Baker, a Darfurian chef who arrived via Calais, and 16 years later returned to prepare warm meals for refugees at Christmas, will be talking about his life

Sabrina Tucci, an Italian human rights defender will be talking about her recent experience as an observer in the Palestinian city of Hebron

Rihab Azar, virtuoso classical oud player from Syria, will be performing

Plus: poetry readings from Exiled Writers Ink writers
