When will the World have Peace

The message was one of love and Peace on Earth - how can anyone go in a Church, Temple, Synagogue or Mosque when they have war and blood on their hands??? Peace Shalom Salem Om Shanti ...think with hearts man and put KIND back in manKIND - evolve out of stupidity!!!!!

World Disability Day

Some are born with disability, some have birthing injuries, some have disease that leads to disability, some have accidents in life but the worst is those that never should have been as the result of man's immature stupidity to go to war and not get round peacetables. I find it nauseating that this happens to kids especially innocent and targeted in some monstrous evil minded act of utter tantrum and deluded power drunkeness. 

This young boy as many need decent prosthetics now to give back some dignity and some mobility freedom.

SOS

SOS COME IN THIS EVENING 
Humanitarian Appeal
Final Appeal We are civilians trapped in the Kata Hawija, "a small island in the Euphrates". We have been attacked for a week by various types of weapons by the Assad regime, which besieges us under the pretext of fighting the ISIS with the participation of the Russian air force. To date, dozens of children, the elderly and women have been killed and injured without any possibility of medical treatment or relief. We tried to cross into the other bank of the Euphrates River, where the democratic forces-SDF- are based, but the soldiers of the ISIS prevent us from crossing, and the Syrian democratic forces-SDF- offered us no real help except to declare their readiness to receive us if the Euphrates River crossed them. If we do not have any boats or ships to transport children, women, the elderly and the wounded to the other bank, besides that the forces of the Assad regime and Russian aviation are targeting us, in addition to the Snipers of ISIS that take us as human shields. We call on the international coalition forces and their forces, civil society organizations and human rights organizations to intervene urgently to evacuate us to the northern bank of the Euphrates River, only 100 meters away, save the lives of hundreds of children and separate them from the death of the awakening of conscience.

Evening of Imperial Care for Refugees Pain

Yesterday evening went along to the Imperial College talk on Beyond violence and how to support refugees with the mental trauma of their experience in war and fleeing for their lives.  Well impressed with the evening the medical students had put together for their charity week.  There were students that are thinking of following their practice into Psychiatry so were interested in this facet of care for those traumatised.  I love being around the students and chatting with them... My whole career has been helping to mentor and guide medical and nursing and midwifery students through their clinical placement... so felt fully at home among them all.... I was able to share in the networking exhibition all I am doing with my Family Link Up project too.. Linking up my Syrian refugee family that are scattered between Turkey and Europe. I have asked if they would invite me to speak sometime... as love sharing my experiences. 

The speakers for this evening were totally inspirational with their care and compassion for maximising their support to the traumatised.  There was Dr Peter Hughes Consultant Psychiatrist who has worked in Syria with Syrian Task Force & WHO  as well helped with refugees here that have fled the war zones.  You can read more about him and his work on his Royal College of Psychiatrist link blog...  http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/discoverpsychiatry/overseasblogs/syriapeterhugheswiththewh.aspx

There was Prof Cornelius Katona the medical director of the Helen Bamber Foundation.  This presentation was amazing with the holistic approach to healing and caring for the post traumatised.   You can read more of the inspirational work which should be a model for all on the link to the Helen Bamber Foundation.... Helen was very caring woman to have started this work and what a legacy she leaves us all to.... inspire and to guide us in our humanity to others. http://www.helenbamber.org/

The evening had exhibitions from other agencies that help refugees ... so here are a random selection of my photos from the evening with links to find out more. 


This is a map from the wall of one of the huts in the Calais camp and it shows all the routes refugees have taken to flee.  Note many have settled or been settled along the way not all head for Calais with a view to seeking asylum in the UK.  From my interaction with my refugee family many are not to happy to come to the UK as since Brexit and the attitudes they have seen in the news it puts them off..... which is a sad reflection of us as a supposed to be caring Christian nation! Many want to go to Canada as Justine Trudeau stands out as a beacon of care and compassion in his style of leadership.    But nevertheless this map and routes is interesting and demonstrates desperation to get to some place to settle and maybe reunite with other family members.  It is so sad that the UK government would not accept my suggestion through my MP to set up emergency ECOs offices in the Calais camp to perform some high to low priority clearances... Even more sad and disappointing, that given the horrors on a grand magnitude in the Syrian crimes against humanity by their deluded president and his regime; that all safe country embassy doors did not open to help people flee with dignity.... and not through these hazardous routes. Dignified support would have been the ideal rather than at the mercy of uncaring traffickers that put many at further risk with their flimsy overcrowded boats... All needed post trauma support not traumatised further. 

On this we all need to sit back and think what the heck are we doing as a supposed Global Family on this one and only home planet Earth... time we truly evolved into caring peaceful beings... Thank God for good examples of care and compassion seen in the groups that have responded to needs.  My rant over here are more photos!


This is a therapeutic project of art therapy you can read more on this link

There was some very keen and enthusiastic supporters of the Islamic Relief who so a lot of good work in the world responding to needs... here is the CW2016 project for Syria... you can  find out more about their work on this link..

To help you understand















URGENT HELP NEEDED





APPG Friends of Syria yesterday

I was able to relay the concern of the activists in Turkey about the fleeing of families from Deir Ezzor... and I too am very worried that they need immediate humanitarian aid and are very distressed. See my following posts for a full view of the situation.

Massacres Man Unevolved


Beautiful photos of Deir Ezzor in Syria ... but on military maps seen as isis kharwarij held areas. Isis did occupy this area and terrorise the civilians there. But now there are massive attacks on the place by Russians and Assad... now look at this.....and remember that we have civilians in this..
This last one to show you does have burned bodies but I need to show you as it suggests phosphorous used...

While the use of the material is not specifically banned, it is covered by Protocol III of the 1980 Convention on Conventional Weapons, which prohibits use of the substance as an incendiary weapon against civilian populations and in air attacks against military forces in civilian areas.

While the world was shocked with the horrendous maniac shooting in Las Vegas and while we mourned the losses and felt for the injured and their families... we have massacres going on in Syria and other war torn areas. 

QUITE FRANKLY THIS IS EVIL IMMATURE AND SO UNEVOLVED OF HUMAN BEINGS DOING THIS TO ONE ANOTHER.  even if you are hunting down a gang that you call terrorists you should not behave worse than a terrorist by bombing innocent civilians caught and trapped in this horrendous nightmare deluded egos are causing. 

How can anyone order this to be done?
How can anyone design and market such weapons? and that goes for the massacre in Las Vegas as well as war weapons...
How can the evil despots behind this sleep at night do they have no conscious?
How can we ever ever carry the label Homo Sapiens (Wise Men) when we do this to one another.

This is a sledgehammer approach to "problem solving" and Dr Death Assad needs to hang his head in shame as all this kicked off because he would not listen to the people, and their call for reform. 

Time this madness was stopped!
