Hopes and Wishes from a self organized school in Moria camp

The teacher of a self-organized school, inside Moria camp, wrote a letter to us about her hopes: “I hope that all of refugees get to their destination and we can go somewhere that they don’t look at us as a refugee and we can have a simple and calm life like the rest of people on the world. And I hope that I continue my work on another country. And I hope that all children of the world can educate in peace”.

Children make up about 40% of the population in Moria Camp. That’s almost one person in two. Some children are with family members, some are alone, but all of them have hopes. We should listen to them. What are their wishes?
