The stories of two Syrian refugees who sought asylum in south Bucks will be told at a one-off event next week.
On Monday March 6 13-year-old Dana Alarnab and Ahmad Al-Rashid will share their experiences to an audience at Pipers Corner School after seeking asylum in High Wycombe last year.
The talk ‘Kindness of Strangers’ will be addressed to students and other guests – by invitation only – at the Pipers Lane school.
Syrian food prepared by school pupils with the help of Dana’s father will be available on the evening.
Initiatives taking place in south Bucks, France and Samos to help asylum seekers will be discussed at a public event at Bucks New University, in Queen Alexandra Road, on Wednesday, March 1 from 6.30pm.
