A child's Laugh should be the butterfly wing, the ripple-maker, for all the world. There are many children crying - we hear them echoing from news media.
It is time to pray the change of the world in children's Laughter.
Her name is Amra and she's just 3 years old. She was born in the UK after her family emigrated from Afghanistan.
Her laugh was extremely contagious. We couldn't stop ourselves from laughing so I decided to freeze that exact moment.
The ACAA has been successfully running Saturdays School for children and young people for more than 10 years. It supports integration, equality and engagement in the UK.
Most of the children we work with are from Afghanistan and Central Asia and are refugees; they come from low-income families. The language barrier is one of the many struggles children from migrant background have to face.
Their English fluency can be low and could eventually bring them feel excluded from UK society. With the provision of a safe and sustainable environment, they can learn and develop new skills to help them reach their potential and feel part of the community.
Chiara has been an absolute joy to work with! She came to the ACAA with great passion and determination.
Within the first few weeks she put together a media strategy, and tirelessly worked her way through it. She has great passion for what she does always comes up with new innovative initiatives.
I would highly recommend Chiara for any Media related post without any hesitation.
