‘Refugees on Lesbos: one volunteer's story" with Bev Jackson

Bev Jackson discusses her experience volunteering for Starfish, a group helping refugees arriving from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos.


Activist Bev Jackson will be at Housmans to present her book A Month with Starfish, which recounts her her experience volunteering in November 2015 with Starfish Foundation, a group that helps refugees arriving from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos. A Month with Starfish is a largely light hearted account of Bev’s trip to a kaleidoscopic world that provided her with a crash course in human possibilities and her own limitations.

Reviews

“…a wonderful book. I read it in one go and was profoundly moved and educated too. It is a fresh, honest and compassionate insight into the life of a Lesvos volunteer” – Esther Freud

About the Author
