Friendship means similar things to all children, no matter how different their lives may seem. In your class or small groups, have a think about the following:
- What makes someone a friend?
- Are your friends the same or different from you?
- What can you do to make each other happy?
Get together with friends and fundraise for Save the Children. Not only will you be helping us save children’s lives, you will also have plenty of fun and develop new skills along the way.
