Volunteer training session Today I went to second last volunteer training session. Today it was mainly former Syrian refugees telling us about Syria, including its culture, their life in Syria, what the situation is at the moment for refugees, and their own experience of settling down in New Zealand with the help of Red Cross. Interestingly, in Syria, education is free from primary school to university(apparently including post graduate programme!). Health service is also free. The girl also showed us a video of heritages and natural views in Syria. I have to say Syria looks really beautiful and modern! If I have a chance, I might want to travel there! Anyways, this session was pretty chill today and refugees will arrive in Dunedin soon next week! Finger cross! Hope things will go well.
