"We loved welcoming Ruth into our school for a day where students could experience
the theme of belonging linked to a refugee experience. Ruth’s story touched everyone who attended her talk and there were a few tears as we watched the accompanying documentary. Ruth delivered a fantastic workshop to highlight to students what it might feel like to be in a similar position and she was then asked some hard-hitting questions by our student journalism team! Overall, Ruth was flexible, willing to adapt to whatever we needed and communicative throughout our preparation phase so we were really able to create a meaningful experience for our students. We would love to have her back in the future!" ---Emily Hardwicke - Assistant Head, La Cote International School “Thank you on behalf of our entire school community for coming and sharing
your beautiful stories with us. It is apparent that they had a profound impact on our students and they look forward to seeing your books on our library shelves” ---Principal, Chelsea Elementary School |
