Camara is an active member of the Refugee Welcome Centre in Bristol, probably most known for his sharp scrabble skills, but he has many other talents. Recently he did a radio interview before the demonstration listen, and has participated in the City of Sanctuary organising process, including co-leading a participatory research session with the asylum seeking community.  He is a much loved and respected member of our community.
