Refugees
say
Thankyou
DVO held their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday Evening.
It was very humbling to hear from 2 remarkable refugees about their experiences. Adam from Sudan and Jalal from Iran left everything to find a place of safety.
Adam had an arduous journey, when he finally was granted leave to remain in the UK he was homeless for 2 months, living under the bridge in Skelmersdale.
He now volunteers at the Ask club. They both spoke of their gratitude to charities that had helped them and how important it was.
They wanted to say Thankyou to all supporting DVO, SVP , the Ark, Family Forge and SWAP.
