Rita

Name: Rita Assani
Age: 21
Year of the Fix: 2016
Location: Newport
Campaign: To show school children how to be a good friend

When I was younger I found it hard to make friends because I didn’t speak English very well.

 

I remember one day a girl talked to me. I didn’t understand what she said, but we ended up playing together.

 

It helped me feel welcome and I remember I always wanted to go to school after that.

 

I don’t want other children to be bullied and I want to show them the importance of being a good friend and the impact being a bully can have on somebody else.
