Hi, my name is Sara and I am 7 years old. Today is a special day because a new classmate, Amina, has arrived. Amina comes from a faraway country and speaks a different language.

During the break, I see Amina talking with some girls. They don't speak our language very well. They stay away from the rest of the class. I go to them and ask if they want to play with us. But some of my classmates start making jokes.

How do you think Amina feels when she sees other kids making jokes of her?

I decide to help Amina and the other girls. Every time someone says something bad, I tell them to be nice. I try to make everyone play together, but it is not easy. I learn some words in Amina's language to talk better with her. She also learns some words in my language.

How do you think I feel when I see Amina and the other girls sad?

One day, while we are playing, a group of children comes over. One of them pushes Amina, making her fall. I turn to them and decide to stand up for my friend.

What can I do?

I can use words to make them understand they were wrong. I can choose to use violence to defend Amina.
