Our Head of House 2018 Yemi, has just finished her first year of med school at Cardiff University and has been volunteering at a refugee centre in Samos, Greec.
She has been
teaching English to a class of Arabic, Farsi and French speaking adults and is also the music teacher there. As an organisation they provide laundry services,
kids activities, women’s spaces, language classes and emotional support to
individuals living in the camp and Yemi says it has been the most eye-opening experience
of my life.
She goes on to say:
'Whilst I have been out here, I’ve met lots of
journalists working for various organisations and through them, I have been
encouraged to write an article about some of the insights I’ve had into the
dynamics of the relationships within the camp: specifically the wide spread
discrimination directed towards the recently arrived African asylum seekers. I
am starting correspondence with my local MEP who is looking into this issue
specifically and wants to take my ideas to EU parliament and I will also be in
touch with the head of Africa correspondence at the BBC which is super
exciting!
I have also been interviewed for documentary to be aired on Swiss-Italian TV
about the camp and living conditions.'
We are very proud of Yemi and the fantastic work she is doing 😊
