As every year since 1949 we celebrated St. Lucia in our school on St. Lucia's day, December 13th.
While Lucia visits sick and old people with her maids and choir spreading light, hope and love, the other students in high school have theme days, where charity and humanity are usually in the main role.
This year we had an opportunity to hear 18 year old Afghan boy Khadem tell about his journey to Finland and Oulu. He also told about life in Afghanistan and the differences between these two countries. Our students found the presentation very interesting, and afterwards they had a lot of thoughts about the topic.
In the photos below you can see Khadem and our students, and some of the thoughts they wrote and drew after the presentation.
You can read more about this year's St. Lucia of Oulu here (in Finnish).
Here can you read our last year's post about St. Lucia and see the awesome video that is made by our students.
