Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.

One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.

After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.

“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.

The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. At first she was hesitant but an encouraging smile from Amanda filled her with determination on the stage. With dazzling light casting on her, Rama performed a dance from her hometown, twisting, spinning and leaping. So infectious was her movement that it lit up the sparkles hidden in the students’ eyes. Instead of sitting silently, they tapped their feet along with the beat, cheering and clapping. Inspired by Rama’s bravery, many of them began to step forward to show their own talents like folk songs and paintings. Over time, there was much laughter and hearty smiles in the room. Amanda watched with tears welling up, moved and proud that this diverse group of students found a sense of belonging.?

Everything seemed to change after that art show. Amanda was thrilled to witness the students starting to participate more in class activities, no longer looking sad in their eyes. For the first time since they arrived in this modern city, the students felt seen and appreciated. Motivated by the success of the art show, Amanda and her friends continued to organize events that celebrated the diversity of their school community. They hosted a food festival where students shared traditional dishes, and organized a maker fair where they showcased crafts and paintings from their home countries. Looking back on that day, Amanda realized that what brought students together was not just the art show but the willingness to step forward and open up, secure in kindness and love.
