UK, Ireland / Poles flee N. Irleand homes after World Cup riots [70]
hello all.
i have just registered as i want to give my tuppence worth.
I hear alot of talk in the above posts re supporting the polish community. I have been abroad with little language and an "adequate" understanding of local customs (a native community in the yukon and an isolated village in nepal) and its really challenging and enriching if you get a welcome, an introduction and someone being there for you. And its quite intimidating if you feel you are not being understood. I think its alot to ask others to try and understand our customs.
I read the posts above and there are some great thoughts. However.....
.....wheres the action?
I have a polish acquaintance who is scared of going out. Who among us would like to make any girl feel that way?
So, a call to polish people, can you tell us if there are any events i could help with, any ideas for someone like me to link in to families here?
give it a thought.
thanks, j
ps, apologetically confess to being a prod..... :)
