An old friend at a seminar today

Brian, Monica and I went to the Churches' Refugee Network seminar on Transition today at Methodist Church House .... An interesting session on the challenges faced by people moving from the Asylum system to full membership of UK society. Brian spoke - and we showed photos (taken by Monica) of the Centre.  Also there - Praxis, Restore (Birmingham), Southwark Day Centre and the British Red Cross.

A highlight of the day was meeting an old friend - Blanchard Ngundo, now living in Birmingham, but once a frequent visitor to NDRC. Blanchard was sorry that he did not have time to come back to the Cafe (the seminar ended at 3pm). But he sent his best regards to everyone.
