Hi Marnie,
ReplyDeleteIt’s Leisha again!
You have recalled some key facts about Yusra’s story. Well done. I think it is amazing that Yusra, her sister and two other people jumped into the water and keep the boat afloat until they were washed up on shore and saved the lives of 20 people! She is now on the Refugee Olympic team and has achieved so much for someone aged only 21 too. What I also think is amazing, is that she is now helping other refugees, especially refugee women and their families. A truly inspirational lady she is!
I am interested to know what you thought of this story? Did you enjoy learning about Yusra?
