Ramsdean welcomed its first Ukrainian family of a mother and two young boys from Kiev last weekend. Andrew King who has sponsored their visas and is providing them with accommodation spoke to Shine Radio's Alistair Crawford about his reasons for doing so and gave an overview of the challenges experienced to date. Andrew is still looking for hosts locally for three other families, and if anyone may have space or has questions about hosting a family, Andrew can be contacted by email at akramsdean@gmail.com
