Power of words

 

We were catching up on some reading over at the This Is Not My Country blog and thought we'd share  Devious Deva's excellent post about a recent story in Kathimerini which highlighted essays by young Greek students describing the prejudices in Greece against foreigners.  Deva states:

- Perhaps the most poignant observation was by 12-year-old Yiannis Petkanis. “I saw migratory birds flying south for the winter and thought that refugees are like this but unfortunately they don’t have the same freedom to return to their native country however homesick they may feel.” -

Good read. Check it out here.
