Hay School is hosting the next Refugee Away Day organised by Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Refugee Sanctuary. The school will be open on Sunday 27th January, with activities such as glitter tattoos, nail varnish, face painting and crafts, and a show by Hay Theatre Group at 2.30pm.
The organisers are asking for donations of dried food (rice rather than pasta), tinned food (especially fish) and toiletries for the refugees to take away with them. These can be dropped off at the school any time this week, or from 9.15am on Sunday morning. They would also be grateful if anyone can donate biscuits or cake - they will be providing food and drink during the day.
One of the refugees coming to Hay on Sunday will be Otis Bolamu, who was recently threatened with deportation back to the Republic of Congo. He wants to thank some of the people who signed the petition for him to stay in this country personally.
