The art room at Wellesley College, Days Bay Wellington was a hive of creative activity last Thursday.
Children from two schools, St Michael’s and Holy Cross joined a group of students from Wellesley College for a day of art and friendship.
This was to mark UNHCR World Refugee Day on June 20.
The refugee background children from Colombia, Iraq, Jordan, South Sudan and Myanmar joined their Wellesley College colleagues
This was the fifth year that this annual event has been hosted by Wellesley College in partnership with Refugee Trauma Recovery.
The paintings will be exhibited publicly with an opening night to which the parents and caregivers of the children will be invited to attend and celebrate the children’s achievements.
