(The word "snow" written by a student, in Arabic.)
I have had many opportunities in working with Refugees and Immigrants, in Canada, to see students experience snow for the first time. The reactions to the first snowfall are so diverse: excitement, apprehension, fear of touching the snow, realization that winter really will be cold and so much more. If you ever have the opportunity to experience the first snowfall with a Refugee or Immigrant, I recommend you do it. It is a perspective you will not forget!
