The evening was hosted by the Arab British Centre... a lovely place with so much going on with language and cultural share in the heart of London.
It was good to be given the chance to talk about my Family Link Up project Family Link Up in the open mike slot at the end of the evening. Thanks to the interest it created too. Seems strange now to talk of Belgium as during the day Boshra and the girls arrived in Belgium from the UNHCR resettlement from Eleonas Camp, Athens. I hope I can find the funds to get over to see her. At least now she is closer and I can go by Eurostar from London InshAllah
"NaTakallam (“we speak” in Arabic) connects language learners around the world with displaced individuals for language practice online—frequently over Skype.Presently, NaTakallam is focusing on displaced Syrians mostly in Lebanon, but also in Armenia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Italy, Iraq, Germany and Turkey. As NaTakallam conversation partners, displaced persons gain access to an income, staff training and marketable skills by working with Arabic learners around the world. On the other end, the platform offers language learners affordable, flexible, tailored language practice with native speakers."
