"you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat/unless the water is safer than the land/no one burns their palms/under trains/beneath carriages/no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck/feeding on newspaper/unless the miles travelled/means something more than journey" From poem "Home" by Warsan Shire. To help with the refugee crisis, you can volunteer your time (as an English teacher, as a mentor, or a lobbyist at avaaz.org), you can sign a petition to ask the government to accept more refugee migrants at petition parliament uk, you can donate supplies such as sleeping bags and clothing to the Help Calais & Beyond wish list on Amazon, or you can even offer up spare rooms in your home at naccom.org.uk #refugeeswelcome
