Dear Nam Quach,

 

My name is Mai and I am a student from Dinjerra Primary School. Today I want to talk to you about something that I think is important.

 

Braybrook is a place where people share things and care for each other. So, what about the other people who are waiting for someone to help them? These people are not only in Melbourne, but also around Australia. I think we can support these refugees and the asylum seekers by donating money through fundraising. We can have food banks for them, teach them English or find them houses…But is that all we can do?

 

We should help them get a job, help their children have education like the other kids. But now, the government is turning the refugees/asylum seekers boats around. By looking at these boat I can see that they are not safe to sit in. They travel a long, dangerous journey to here. The government shouldn’t just turn boats around like that. It’s not right.

 

Now I have a question for you, Mayor. Do you ever care about these people who need your help? I hope so. So now, I want you think about this. Can you help us make a difference by supporting the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre? They need donations of food, clothing and money. So could you please spread the word around the council that ASRC need help to help the refugees?

 

Once again, I’m Mai, a student from Dinjerra Primary School. Thank you for reading my letter.
