'I chose the vocation'
Camila Batmanghelidjh (کامیلا باتمانقلیچ) CBE, Founder, Kids Company,
born 1 January 1963, Tehran, Iran- died 1 January 2024, London.
RIP Camila and thank you for the generosity and kindness, help and support, you gave to so many kids. I am praying in my own way for you, may God grant you rest; you were, in the old idiom, a lovely lady, who, if required, may still be a peacemaker in heaven.
