Refugees, Rugby and Johnny

Hi Val 
  I sent two emails to you re my developing interest in supporting refugee/migrant women who are experiencing mental health problems.    One of  the women spent 20 yrs in  a refugee camp before arrival in NZ.   She is only 25yrs old now.    I am particularly concerned about the children ( I know you have shown in photos the distress being experienced by very young children.  I am put in mind of the words of Yehuda Bauer    I will not be a perpetrator, I will not be a victim,  I will not be a BYSTANDER.

On a lighter note I would love to be in Toulouse now that Johnny is there!!!    Preferable to NZ which is in the grip of unimaginable rugby fever.         

Take care  Ann      NZ
Val says Ann used to work in the field of mental health.
Wel done to the NZ Rugby team, I can imagine the celebrations there.
As always Ann thank you for your contributions from the other side of the world.
