One of my most recent posts was associated with an article from the NZ Herald, “We’re Going On A Holiday“. The article talks about mothers telling their children their going on a holiday to prevent them from knowing about war. The top half of the table is how I think of when talking about these themes. The lower half is how I think Ukrainian refugees in the article might feel when talking about these types of topics.
Sacrifice, family, hope and kindness
An article from the NZ Herald called “We’re Going On A Holiday” was about mothers from Ukraine fleeing with their children to a safer country. Since the children don’t know what’s going on around them, the mothers told them that they’re going on a holiday to prevent their children from knowing about the war and effecting their lives.
The grey words on the inside represent how I believe the child is feeling and the blue words on the outside tell us why the child is feeling those ways.
