Sent packing for children

articlemain

A charity set up in memory of a Tzedek volunteer which provides arrival packs to vulnerable children who come to the UK has reached a milestone.

Tory MP Mike Freer joined groups from around London for the Separated Child Foundation's "purple packathon", at which its 5,000th arrival pack was handed out.

The charity's inspiration was Londoner Ester Gluck, who died in 2006, aged 24.

She had spent her gap year working with children in England and Israel, and two summers in Ghana on behalf of Tzedek. She cared particularly about the needs of young refugees.
