A few years ago, our family collected household items to help Afghan refugees relocating to our hometown. A local organization needed dishes, furniture, linens, and toiletries for several apartments. We worked with neighbors to outfit the kitchen.
Since then, immigration has become a hot button topic politically. Children can’t help but overhear adults complaining about floods of people crossing the border or calling for greater resources to help resettle refugees. They also see images of families from war-torn countries fleeing the violence and wonder what will happen to them. And they wonder whether there is anything they can do to make a difference.
Invite children to reflect on the theme of ‘immigration’ with this guided meditation recording, or listen to the recording yourself and then use the transcript to guide children in the practice.
