On April 27 and 28 we visited Clevedon School with our ONE TREE Refugee Project meeting 240 year 8 students who were studying The Crossing by Manjeet Mann

Ali Elmubarak and Tahmina Kauser were our speakers with help from Michael Loader

Feedback ...

"Watching you speak we learnt about being brave and not giving up. We really enjoyed listening to your music and learning about a new instrument"

"We will understand The Crossing better; we now know what it would feel like to be a refugee more and understand what people go through"

"Thank you Ali, for being so brave, for telling us such inspiring things and sharing your experiences of Sudan with us"

"We really enjoyed hearing and learning about your childhood, your jobs and your escape from Sudan"

"We thought you were incredibly brave and selfless to make and release the documentary. We wondered how your life and the lives of others would be different if you hadn’t decided to do that"

"Our class were amazed at your positive message about making the most of life and it made us think about our own"

Feedback from our 'HOW IT ALL BEGAN' family show on May 17 ...

"I loved making the pictures"

"I snored when Martin played the harp, well he did say it put people to sleep!"

"My child's friend was SO interested in the beast creation activity"

"I was astonished you kept their attention so long! They don't usually stay in the classroom for than 30 minutes. This was a massive win"

"Thanks for a great show and things my family could get involved with"

"Probably the TOP reason I loved this show so much was the creation of a space where I felt I had permission to be truly playful as a grown up!"

"A great bit of interactive theatre by Michael and Martin where genuinely the whole family could get involved"

"You have to see them in action when you get a chance!"
