>
> A number of us have signed the petition as individuals. I am writing to
> propose that we collectively write on behalf of Jeanine and her family, as
> a group of community psychologists. There is some reason for hope that

>
>
> There is real urgency about this as the UK Border Authority proposes to
> remove Jeanine next Friday and in the meantime Jeanine is in Yarls Wood
> Detention Centre.

>
> As before I suggest that if there are no objections within 48 hours, we
> take that as a sign of agreement to a collective list statement lobbying

>
> In the mean time as a default I will liaise with Jacqui to co-draft a

> Jeanine Kamba is to be removed from the UK on Friday after being detained
> by the UK Border Authority.
>
> Jeanine, 18, came to the UK in 2005 after fleeing the Democratic Republic
> of Congo (DRC). Her father died in 1995 and her mother went missing in
> 2003 and has not been seen since. Her older brother Blaise took
> responsibility for both Jeanine and her sister Leitichia, but was forced
> to return to the DRC in 2009, despite objections from senior Bishops of
> the Church of England and local media, amid serious concerns for his
> well-being.
> After returning to the DRC, Blaise was imprisoned. We secured his release
> 18 months ago and since then he has not been seen or heard from.
>
> Since arriving in the UK, Jeanine has been in full-time education and is
> currently pursuing an NVQ Level Two in Health and Social Care, after
> earning her Level One qualification. She aims to become a social worker in
> order to help people in need, and has recently begun to volunteer at a
> local nursing home.
>
> Jeanine, along with Leitichia, was released from detention into the care
> of Jacqui Lovell in 2009. She is now considered as much a part of the
> family as Jacqui’s other 5 children Lauren, Grace and their three younger
> sisters.
>
> Jeanine’s sister Leitichia now has a son with her partner Jonathan, and is
> living in London. Now a loving auntie, Jeanine often travels to see her
> nephew Jensley, and cherishes her time spent with him. She has begun
> taking vital steps in recovering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a
> result of the traumatic events in her past. She still suffers from
> terrible headaches and nightmares, but has made some progress in
> overcoming these, thanks to counselling from her mother Jacqui.
>
> As required, on Thursday 10th March, Jeanine attended her monthly signing
> at her local police station where she was forcibly detained by five UKBA
> officials.
>
> Jeanine is currently being held in Yarls Wood Detention Centre, and is
> scheduled to be deported back to the DRC, where she has no family or
> friends, no place to live, and no means of supporting herself.
>
> The DRC has the highest incidence of rape and domestic violence anywhere
> in the world. If her deportation were to happen, Jeanine is almost certain
> to be subject to these atrocities.
>
> It is for all these reasons and more that we beg the Home Secretary Teresa
> May to show leniency and compassion in Jeanine’s case. Jeanine, a teenager
> who has already suffered far too much for one so young, deserves to remain
> with her family in the UK, in order to continue her education, and to be
> allowed time to grow into the wonderful young woman that she is becoming.
>
> It is the power of the people that can often make all the difference. Each
> signature is important. Please act now.
