Scholarships for refugees

Some Welsh universities are planning to offer scholarships to refugees.

Aberystwyth University is discussing proposals for five scholarships, and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David said it had made commitments for a similar scheme.

Would you consider donating money to support those scholarships?  OK, if you're not in Wales - would you support such a system if your 'local' uni decided to join the process?
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Lists of what is needed and a search engine to find your nearest collector (scroll to bottom for latter) are here:  http://www.twam.uk/donate-tools

Yes I would support such a scheme.

The refugees would either return to their own countries better equipped to deal with its problems - and almost certainly with a positive view of the country which gave them opportunity - or remain here and enrich this country with their enhanced skills.
