Oh la la!
Dear me! it was all go in the French lessons today. A Tibetan and an Afgan got into a fight in the kitchen over a scarf. It’s a little room with a big square table so it caused quite a to-do. The other boys ran to separate them and it was all quite scary. Then the Afgan ran to the kitchen drawer and got a big knife! Arghh! My first instinct was to call the police but the teacher didn’t seem to think so. Anyway, the Afgan was surrounded by about 4 boys who were struggling with him to get him to put the knife down, while the teacher went out to the Tibetan to tell him to leave or he would get stabbed!
Crazy! 
All this while lots of the kids who had fled terrible situations were getting quite agitated… It wasn’t very nice.
Anyway, the Tibetan left and the Afgan mooched around outside waiting for his friends. I still don’t know why the teacher didn’t call the police…
On the way home I was speaking to one of my students who is 20. He told me he had been in the Afgan army for the past 4 years becuase he was forced to. His dad managed to get him out of his country. A girl in the class fled Ethiopia becuase of a conflict and ended up in an Arab county, which she also had to flee for some reason. There is a Ukranian who’s father is in governement and recieved death threats. It’s all quite heart wrenching. Pray with me for these kids.
