We had a beautiful event with author Kamin Mohammadi, poet and writer John Constable (his performance of The Book of the Crow is never to be missed!), artists Mike Moran, Birgit Muller and Rhonda Klevansky, and asylum seeker Bernard who shared his experiences in a heartfelt and warm manner, plus Zibiah from Evelyn Oldfield Unit (EOU) and members of Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS). Thank you to all who participated and reminded us of the challenges faced by migrants, refugees and asylum seekers everyday, whose image in the media is often contrary to real life experiences. Kamin read from her work The Cypress Tree ("a love letter to my family and to Iran") - Kamin and her family were exiled from Iran - and shared movingly about what it is like to grow up caught between two cultures, feeling neither fully belonging to one or the other, and what it meant to truly embrace the role of being a 'bridge' between the two. Thank you to EOU for allowing to show clips from Belonging: Voices of London's Refugees. The exhibition of Rhonda Klevansky's work, Fragments from Another Life, and Mike Moran and Birgit Muller's Waiting For will be up until 3 July at our gallery, so if you haven't caught it yet, please do so. As one visitor remarked, "It reminds us of our common humanity." And from another: "I am so proud that so many of these displaced people have been able to call London/UK 'home.'"

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

The revolution in Iran was a great fight after that the true leader come to the face but the event should be help out not only refuges but all the people who are got killed by the terrorism or bombing.

Nice try but you could have spared those bytes from the indignity of being sent around the internet. A catastrophic failure would be a more fun way to spend an evening. Is there no end to cover letter and resume's face-saving measures? The points you make on Refugee Week are commonly held beliefs and utterly erroneous.
