This is our first assignment for this semester. Use the plan we made in class as well as ideas from those listed below and suggest ways in which refugees can be integrated into your local community. Since we've come up with a lot of ideas your essay should be between 200-250 words. Remember that you can cooperate with another classmate and the assignment will help you gain an extra mark for the semester. Good luck!
- Volunteer a specific skill of yours (e.g. if you speak a foreign language, you can translate for them, you can cook or sew or build something for them etc.)
- Encourage your schoolmates and friends to accept refugee children as their friends
- Provide them with suggestions or opportunities, so that they can feel useful to your community
- Donate something. It does not need to be money. Clothes, toys, utensils that you and your family do not need anymore, could be valuable to them.
- Organize a ball, a charity, a bazaar or any other fund-raising event.
- Invite them to join you in sports or games you and your friends play
- Persuade people in your town/village/neighbourhood to employ refugees for simple jobs
