Today we welcome Tom back to speak to us on the current state of play in Syria.
We Welcome Partners and Guests.
Acting for Change International [ACI].
Tom has been working on the ground in Jordan with refugees that are still pouring across the border from Syria to avoid the violent conflict. The huge numbers are struggling to find enough shelter and food as they have had to leave all their belongings at home. Many prefer to live in areas where their tribal connections exist rather then in the official camps but no aid is coming their way. He is very concerned and does all he can to help to fill this gap. The organisation he works with is doing what it can.
