YESTERDAY, after 3 months away (those closest to me know why), I finally made it back to the #refugee camps of France.

THANK YOU to my gorgeous #TheBoyAtTheBackOfTheClass readers, the children of #Evergreeny & @KingsSchoolRoch, @Halfords_uk Beckton &all donors for making it so❤️

🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.

Thank you all, as always for your support. Next convoy this Saturday!

My favourite take on the race fuelled protests happening right now. What a legend Darren is!

The Algerian Olympics team threw flowers in the Seine, at the point where in 1961 around 200 Algerians were drowned by French police crushing a protest against an anti-Muslim curfew.

THANK YOU to all gorgeous supporters of @o_refugee. Got back out to the #refugee camps of #France yesterday to deliver YOUR aid🥰

Special shout out to @NelsonPriSchool: 589 toothbrushes delivered!

And 12yo Juno who raised over £1000 for @ProjectPlay7 & delivered in person too!

[ORefugeeAidTeam @o_refugee]

This #WorldRefugeeDay the message is simple.

NO HUMAN BEING deserves to be persecuted for their race, faith or geographical happenstance.

NO COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE should be blamed and punished for the crimes of others.

Ceasefire.

Everywhere.

From #Gaza to #Sudan to #Syria.

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

Before #eid prayers begin, just a huge big THANK YOU to all gorgeous @o_refugee supporters.

Thanks to you all, Snowy & I managed to take a quick trip to the #refugee camps yesterday to get some urgent food supplies in & fresh hot food out to a lot of hungry little ones. 🎒♥️

[Sulaiman Choudhury @choudhsa]

All your amazing support and donations carefully and diligently delivered to those who need it most in the refugee camps. Thank You 💚

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

GOT BACK from the #refugee camps in the early hours yesterday, shattered.

But oh so proud!

Of @o_refugee /#SalamKitchens / @MRefugeeSupport teams.

Of #Evergreeny @ishaq_yasmin, @boyatbackplay & every dear donor.

THANK YOU ALL for making this - US - happen!🎒
#RefugeesWelcome

[Sulaiman Choudhury @choudhsa]

So proud of the ORAT team and all its supporters.

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

I didn't have the heart to call out for funds/help in the midst of #Sudan & #Palestine atrocities.

But thanks to every donor, reader & watcher of #TheBoyAtTheBackOfTheClass & @boyatbackplay, we didn't need to.

THANK YOU all.

What an honour. Just all of it...
#RefugeesWelcome

[ORefugeeAidTeam @o_refugee]

YESTERDAY, in response to news of increasing food scarcity for #refugees in Dunkirk, our team delivered urgently needed goods to frontliners.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE donating & reading/seeing #TheBoyAtTheBackOfTheClass/ @boyatbackplay.

Because of YOU, we go on.

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you...

To all gorgeous donors to us @o_refugee...

To the epic #Salam, @MRefugeeSupport, @RWC_CalaisDK, @ProjectPlay7 teams & our @CottetCaroline...

And my readers & crew...

For making our #Christmas2023 #ORATaidconvoy a beaut. 🎒💕 #refugeeswelcome

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

A message from Charlie @MRefugeeSupport in N-France.

Yup.

The French police continue to harass & assault #refugees, destroying whatever aid they've been given, forcing them onto coaches & dumping them in the middle of nowhere.

Dare @RishiSunak to come see the hell he funds.

[Sulaiman Choudhury @choudhsa]

I am heading out to the #refugee camps in #Calais this Thursday. Please DM if you would like to support. Thank You.
