During Lent 2008 a number of the boazSupporters undertook to live on a ‘Red Cross’ Food Parcel for a week to raise awareness of the plight of & show their solidarity with destitute asylum seekers. We’ve attached a number of their Journals & Reflections for you to read - as you will see this was not always an easy undertaking:

Alison’s Journal

Andrew’s Thoughts

Kathie’s Journal

Mary-Ellen’s Journal

Steph’s Journal

Sue’s Journal

Nigel & Vivienne (the BOAZHousing Manager & his wife) took the Endurance Challenge & their blog can be found here N & V’s blog or on www.lentchallenge.blogspot.com (for all the ‘bells & whistles!) or click on link in right hand column for direct connection

In addition Sue also compared her ‘Lent Diet’ with the typical diet of that of an asylum seeker
