Luton pupils gift to Roma Gypsies

A THOUSAND pupils and staff at Putteridge High School, Luton, presented a mountain of gifts to the Romanian Roma gypsies living in the town.

At their end of year assemblies the Roma were presented with the gifts filling three cars, as well as gifts of money to relieve their poverty. The school had spent a month thinking about how difficult life is for the Roma living in their midst and to help them do this, they held a flower-making workshop to help them understand why to Roma sell flowers on the streets of Luton.

The whole project did much to break down misunderstandings and preducides and celebrate diversity.
