I would like to share this information with my friends on the forum.
My heart goes out to the parents of our armed forces because in a very minor way I am now witnessing the worries that parents have when there children find themselves in areas of potential harm.
As parents, both Paula and I are worried as our son Tom flew out last night from Heathrow to Amman in Jordan which is bordering Syria.
It is one of those times in life that all parents go through when we have to let our children 'spread their wings' and do something that causes parental worry....... In saying this, our feelings are somewhat mixed as we are also very proud of him for wanting to travel to this part of the world to help those in need during a time of crisis.
This humanitarian trip to Jordan was something that he really wanted to be part of, as he will be one of only 14 Coventry University students who were selected for the Majid AlSadi Changing Lives Programme. This programme involves students working with to rejuvenate the physical, educational and cultural experience for deprived Jordanian orphans and deprived children. This venture is a partnership between Coventry University and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah’s and aims to improve schools and childrens learning across Jordan.
Sorry to have ranted on so much as I am more than sure that everything will be fine and that he will have some wonderful memories to divulge to us when he returns? :courage:
