Awareness Talk
On Tuesday 1st of May
Alannah, Aoife and Jennifer from Cross and Passion College came into our school
and told us about refugees. They talked to us about the different countries
that people flee from. The first country we talked about was Ireland; we talked
about how people fled the country during the famine. The other countries we
talked about were Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Lebanon. They also
told us a story about a refugee called Rania who made a really long journey to
Vienna. At the end we did a worksheet about transport they use for trying to
flee a country in times of war or famine and what you would bring with you.
We are all going to try to raise our
awareness of the plight of refugees everywhere in our world. We watched a documentary
in our class about Rania, one of the refugees. Kit was very interesting and really
showed us how dangerous and difficult some people’s living conditions are.
