A plea from the Traveller Equality Project

RE: CNGTR

Hello

I  run the Traveller Equality Project which works in prison with Gypsies and Irish Travellers. I am getting a number of requests from European Roma for help resources etc. I have just received a letter from two Slovakian Roma.

 In the past I have asked some people working with Roma to provide resources, advice etc to no avail. Anyway, the point is if you have access to resources for Roma which are free please get in touch with me.

Thanks

Conn

Conn has clarified that anything would be helpful: books, magazines, DVDs. - Jenny
