This morning I had the pleasure of meeting a young man with a great vision ... I felt truly inspired! His name is Hong Tsz Ling, but asked to be called Bosco. On October 5th 2013 Bosco left Hong Kong to walk to London, via a slightly circuitous route.
WHY??
Because in 1972 during the violence and killings of the Cultural Revolution in China, Bosco's father and grandfather fled mainland China to Hong Kong. Being allowed into the British colony of Hong Kong as refugees saved their lives.
Bosco is walking to London to meet with David Cameron to say 'thank you'. In the process he also hopes to raise awareness regarding the plight of refugees and to raise money for UNHCR.
In recent months it has been announced that the world now has more refugees – people forced to leave their homes – than at any time since the Second World War.
