And who knows where it will end! I think this will change a lot about how we are living and dealing with each other. And as Europe is closing its borders to the desperate, I wonder what we have learned from previous crises.It's only 70 years since we had lots of European refugees. Is it too long to remember, and too difficult to open our hearts ?Uta Lenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15641327859827054439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224755524646372838.post-74120408315193617132015-09-12T22:33:56.909+02:002015-09-12T22:33:56.909+02:00I keep thinking of you when I see the pictures of ...I keep thinking of you when I see the pictures of people wanting to go to Germany. And do countries realise the need for developing networks so it doesn't all become too much?<br />It is like the Romanian orphans after the revolution in 1989. We saw childless couples - especially Americans - taking two children - no experience of children at all and taking 2 who by all accounts of their previous existence made them special needs. ...My mother sent me an article only a few years later which talked about how many of those children ended up being taken into care because the parents couldn't cope.<br />And because Britain made it so very difficult to get all the appropriate documents and everything, eventually Romania said no to Brits. So those of us who could have done it lost the chance.<br />Anyway, I am glad you are still able to help, but I am also glad that you have been able to help without having your own family come undone because of being too burdened.<br />Hugs,<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
