The Gap Celebrates Daniel's 75th Birthday

Amnesty International

Amnesty International defines a refugee as a person who has fled their own country because they are at risk of serious human rights violations and persecution there. The risks to their safety and life are so great that they feel they have no choice but to leave and seek safety outside their country because their own government cannot or will not protect them from those dangers. While they have the right to international protection, unfortunately after taking the difficult decision to leave their own country in search of safety and security, many are faced with on-going danger, persecution and in particular detention from authorities. This extremely vulnerable group of people faces these circumstances without the support systems that most of us take for granted, such as friends, family or community. With the growing number of refugees around the world, it is all too easy to dehumanize these people, which leads at best to lack of sympathy for their plight, and at worst to racism and xenophobia. However, we should be directing our attention to the causes that drive refugees to leave their homes and what governments can do to help. We must make sure that all refugees are safe and protected.

The Helen Black Amnesty International group meet

Happy Birthday Daniel, Big 75! Daniel and Phy Celebrated at their Angel & Bear Bistro on the afternoon of 15 June from 2pm to 4pm. Patrons and friends were treated to free entertainment for the kids, live music and a statuesque croquembouche birthday 'cake' – made by Daniel himself - to celebrate!

Daniel and Phy would like to thank The Gap patrons, for the great support of Angel & Bear Patissorie Bistro. Those attending enjoyed the live music supplied by vocalist/guitarist Tané-Rua Beatty-Smith and flautist Isabel Yamazaki, balloon twisting – with a few pops and explosions and offerings of free croquenbouche & coffee.

Phy arranged a magnificent floral arrangement (featuring ‘flowers’ created from banknotes) from Kay at Woody Pear Florist, which was utterly stunning.

between 9-11am on the second Monday morning of the month in The Gap and would love to hear from anyone interested in joining the group. Please contact Di on 33001861.
