Back Reads:
Parenthood brings many joys but alongside it
Many reasons to be anxious and concern.
As Pakistani women who have adopted
England as our home, we feel that these
Concerns are even greater for us and the
Future prospects of our children.
Many of us who were brought up here
Experienced racism at some point in our
Lives. These experiences have played a great
Role in shaping of our prospective of the future.
Whilst, our first generation of Pakitanis
Settled here, passively accepted racism/discrimination
As inevitable, we the second the third generations
Have attempted to challenge it. The notion of equality
Has a real meaning.
I feel that I speak for the majority of
Pakistani, particularly the 2nd/ 3rd generations that
We have been successful in our attempts to adopt
Well into the host community, whilst at the same

Time retaining our religious and cultural heritage.
Obviously and very naturally we have concerns
About our children’s future. We have aspirations
For them.
The vision that in 25 yrs time the present
Multi-cultural society would have advanced
Considerably. We hope that our children
Would play their role in creating a
Truly harmonious communities.
That, the climate of the society will be
More tolerant and greater aware of
Richness of different cultures.
Finally, we hope that our children
Continue to maintain close links with
Their motherland and retain the cultural
Practises in a new modified form and
Continue to use Islam in every day
Life.

Henryk Swiercz
Note Reads:
Praise for Poles long overdue
I wish to thank you for the article
on Henrik Scwercz. It is long over-
due that we in Leek gave proper
recognition to our Polish allies,
comrades-in-arms and friends.
The sacrifices and sufferings
they endured on our behalf, as well
as for their native land, are too
often ignored or unrecognised.
It must never be forgotten that
After 56 years they are still in exile!
Henrik is one of the many Pol-
ish heroes living in our midst, and
Anyone who meets him will recog-
nise a true officer and gentleman.
At the next Remembrance Day
parade, it would be only fitting to
give the Polish ex-servicemen the
place of honour at the head of the
march past.
