Here’s what happened Listeners: Jess and Emma signed up for a Syrian Cooking Class with Yusuf through Migrateful. Yusuf came on the zoom screen with his joyful smile and entertained us with his humour and excellent facilitation; and also shared with us his experience of his journey from Syria to the U.K. and seeking asylum. We put down the eggplant we had started chopping to text each other that we’d love to interview Yusuf on Fluff.

.

Lucky us, we further connected with Yusuf to hear more about his journey, the refugee crisis at present, and how we can effectively give our Time, Voice & Money to support refugees and people seeking asylum. Amidst the pandemic, our conversation & action might have lessened and we are glad to bring it to attention on Fluff today.

.

Yusuf, we love a side-project, and we care about awareness and action to lower our carbon footprint. We were delighted to learn about your work as a software engineer and the project you are working on to connect communities and share resources (and positive connection). Listeners, get involved! 

.

In this episode, Yusuf brings you wit, fun & important insights. Not to be missed. We were helpfully directed to charities to connect with who support refugees, including Team Bananas Supper Club & Migrateful U.K.

.

We recommend visiting and exploring the Refugee Council’s website for learnings on ‘The Truth About Asylum’ and campaigns to support.
