19. Take a picture of you and your pro-refugee banner

This small action is about taking some action.

Take a picture of you and your pro-refugee banner

So, arm yourself with marker pens, colourful paper and scissors - and make a banner. Anything goes: words of support, smiley faces, and things like “I ♥ refugees” or “Refugees, you rock”.

What do I do once I’ve got my picture?

Pretty pictures

Me and my 21 month old daughter sat with our crayons and oil pastels and drew a poster together. It was a lovely family activity but we also wanted to make a colourful poster to represent the diversity refugees bring to communities. Although she's only a toddler, it's important to me my daughter understands the world around her one day. Our family were refugees several generations ago.

Destitution clients how they can manage to leave with one pound. I found it try to stay with one pound for 10 hour is difficult and destrees.

*R looked at all the options available and they want to make a banner about the simple acts that could make a refugee feel better. They cam up with some great ideas from writing a song to just smiling at a person.

I made this tiny contribution to the campaign after only hearing about refugee week today! Eager to get involved and follow the success of supporters of refugees, I've tried to do as many of the 'little acts' as possible. off to see the 'Living in silence' exhibition in Brick lane now!
