Boarding schools could help refugee children

BOB FINCH suggests UK schools could take in unaccompanied refugee children languishing in camps in Greece If the UK’s 500 boarding schools each took two of the 1,000 unaccompanied refugee children on Lesbos (Report, 24 January) and offered them love, learning and lodging in place of the mud and misery of the camps, it would transform both givers and receivers.
