Edlumino Education Aid is a registered charity, the brainchild of former executive headteacher Dr Rory Fox and his former colleague Ginny Parry.
The charity was founded when the pair visited the refugee camps of Northern France in November 2015. They were shocked by the conditions, especially when they visited the squalid tent-filled camp of Grande Synthe in Dunkirk.
During their visit, the educators asked volunteers, refugees and aid workers where the teachers were, and were as shocked that there weren’t any as they were by the squalor, rats and mud that they found themselves in.
One thing that both Rory and Ginny had in common was their belief that all children, regardless of their circumstances, were entitled to an education.
