Poem-a-Thon for Refugees, 5 December 2015
We provide emergency medical care worldwide to people affected by conflict & disasters.

Story

I'll be reading at 1pm for 8 minutes: poems from mid-20th century Greek poet George Seferis' Mythistorema, which came out of his own experience of displacement and exile in the Mediterranean nearly 100 years ago.  Plus one poem of my own.  I'm also co-hosting the first couple of hours from 12-2pm.  Come and hear us / cheer us on! at Vout-o-Renees, The Crypt, 30 Prescot Street London E1 8BB.  Saturday 5 December, 12pm - 10pm.

All funds we raise will go to support the work of MSF UK in the Mediterranean with refugees.  They have two search-and-rescue ships.  They run hospitals and clinics, both mobile and static, in many of the places refugees are coming from, passing through and/or getting stuck.  Vaccination, clean drinking water, safe childbirth, medical and psychological care - they provide all these.
